Winning Words: Sports Stories and Photographs

74 pp. | Candlewick | June, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-1445-4 $17.99
(4) 4-6 Six short stories highlighting different sports share one message: to be a great athlete, mind and body must work together. A young gymnast overcomes her fear of doing a back handspring; a soccer team finds success when the girls function as a unit. The book is handsome, with a jazzy layout that forefronts photographs and typography, but it can't disguise the stories' sameness.
