Sports Stars with Heart series.
Though they're a bit idealized, professional athletes in baseball, basketball, and football are honored here for their personal and professional role-model status. The bulk of each book details the athlete's impressive career; the subject's childhood, community service, and charitable works are also highlighted. Many photographs, sidebars, and career stats are included. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Sports Stars with Heart titles: LaDainian Tomlinson, Peyton Manning, LeBron James, Derek Jeter, Shaquille O'Neal, and Tim Duncan.

Sports Stars series.
Bright color photographs, large type, and easy-to-read narratives create a reader-friendly introduction to five contemporary sport stars. The biographies are brief, and the fast-paced texts, filled with impressive athletic accomplishments, should entice young fans. Chronologies are included.
