A cast of cartoony anthropomorphized animals introduce a broad range of sports, from the common (soccer, basketball, fishing) to the less kid-known, such as billiards and slacklining. The reportage is tongue-in-cheek but informative. Reminiscent of both Sandra Boynton and Richard Scarry, the ebullient and humorously expressive watercolor and pen art pairs perfectly with the text.
