K-3Olympic Biographies series.
In these simple, adulatory biographies, exclamation point–heavy writing describes the accomplishments of well-known Olympians: "Her team went home with a gold medal!" "He was going for the triple-triple!" "He wanted to make a splash!" There's some useful information in the main texts and in the brief bulleted "More Facts" appended. Glossy stock photos show the athletes in action. Glos., ind. Review covers these Olympic Biographies titles: Aly Raisman, Michael Phelps, Simone Biles, and Usain Bolt.
