(4) K-3 Active Sports series. These volumes provide general information about the title sports including facts about their histories and specialized equipment. Kayaking and Running also include sections about races and competitions. The vivid photographs are more compelling than the bland, choppy texts ("Lots of people like to dive by coral reefs in the ocean"). Glos., ind. Review covers these Active Sports titles: Hiking, Kayaking, Running, and Scuba Diving.
