4-6My Weird School Fast Facts series.
Illustrated by
Jim Paillot.
Funny, irreverent Arlo and studious Andrea curate a collection of weird facts about sports. Seven chapters cover popular sports, including baseball, football, soccer, and car racing. Chapters on speed in sports, "Other Sports" (e.g., bowling, tennis, and volleyball), the Olympics, and additional random facts round out the book. Although the narrative sometimes reads like a simple list of facts, young readers will love the silly humor and black-and-white cartoons in each section.
