K-3Bumba Books: Sports Time series.
Each volume's straightforward text boils the sport down to the most basic (and dull) terms (Basketball: "You need a ball. You need a hoop... Players bounce the ball. This is called dribbling"). Clean, brightly colored pages feature crisp photographs of diverse boy and girl athletes plus occasional questions to encourage further thinking. A diagram of the sport's field/court/etc. is appended. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Bumba Books: Sports Time titles: Baseball Time!, Basketball Time!, Football Time!, Gymnastics Time!, Soccer Time!, and Swimming Time!.
