Each of these books features five energetic young kids experiencing their first gymnastics or karate class. Important words and basic steps appear in bold, colorful type; lifting the page flap reveals an explanation or demonstration of each move. The texts are minimal and clear, reinforced by the accompanying combination of photographs and drawings atop lots of white space for a clean look. Review covers these titles: My First Gymnastics Class and My First Karate Class.
