(4) K-3 Illustrated by Melanie Rose. Each letter is matched with a short, awkward poem ("C is one man's Courage. / Jackie Robinson did his part / by showing skin color doesn't matter. / What counts is in your heart") and longer, more sophisticated--and more interesting--sidebars about various sports figures. Though some of the accompanying oil paintings are muddy, they effectively display each sport's action and thrills.
