4-6Defining Moments: Super Athletes series.
Powered by high-action captioned photos filling a large portion of every page, these books highlight the athletic accomplishments of two sports stars, culminating in their gold medal performances in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The high-interest, low-level, superficially written narratives also briefly describe childhood difficulties overcome by each athlete. Occasional quotes help enliven the texts. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Defining Moments: Super Athletes titles: Michael Phelps and LeBron James.
