K-3Did You Know? series.
Illustrated by
Aaron Spurgeon.
Loosely linking quirky, random facts about sports, Eliot begins this survey with baseball ("Did you know that a 'meatball' is an easy pitch to hit?"). The conversational text then moves on to bowling, soccer, ice hockey, team mascots, and more. Colorful cartoony panels show zany animals engaging in various games and traditions. "Fun Facts" are appended.
