What Is an Athlete?

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | June, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-7613-2258-2 $$21.90
(4) K-3 Photographs by Carol Krauss. This book pairs attributes of athletes on the verso page ("an athlete exercises self-control and focus") with a color photo and brief elaboration on the recto of a child athlete exemplifying the characteristic. The text is mundane, but the attraction of the book is in the variety of sports shown and the diversity of the athletes.
