Overview

Get in the game and use clues on the clotheslines to identify a slew of sports.

Catchy rhymes and visual cues introduce young readers to sports in this companion to Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do.

The clues in each lively verse can be spotted hanging from the clotheslines. What athlete wears those items? Turn the page to discover the sport at hand—and the athlete in full gear! From baseball and soccer, to fencing and archery, there's something for everyone—including a surprise ending. A perfect choice for reading aloud and encouraging kids to join in the guessing and reveal.

Andy Robert Davies's quirky illustrations build a separate story from the text. Close attention to the details will help young readers build their own storytelling skills and help them make visual connections.
