K-3Sports Illustrated Kids: Starting Line Readers series.
Illustrated by
Ed Shems.
These cheery sports-themed easy readers star girl soccer player Mia and boy baseball player Jackson, two smiley kids on not-very-competitive sports teams. Cartoony illustrations and bland story lines may not stand up to repeat readings, but the volumes' few words (eighty-one in Score, eighty-three in Buzz) and simple vocabulary encourage success. Glos. Review covers these Sports Illustrated Kids: Starting Line Readers titles: Baseball Buzz and Soccer Score.
