Editorial Reviews

04/01/2021

Gr 3–5—Sports Illustrated Kids absolutely blasts it out of the park with this fun, energetic series. Hockey fans will rejoice while reading about many amazing moments, including the 1980 Team USA Miracle on Ice win and Andrei Svechnikov's "lacrosse-style" puck scoop surprise goal. Moments new and old are included in each, like third baseman Anthony Rendon's diving full-body stretch catch in a 2019 NLCS game and "The Catch," Willie Mays's showstopping moment in the 1954 World Series. Bolded vocabulary words and phrases point readers to the glossary. Basketball and Football not only feature similar jaw-dropping moments, they spend time describing specific athletes who revolutionized the art of dunking and sacking, respectively. Doeden and Pryor's mastery and knowledge shine through with engaging play-by-plays that pull readers into the action and excitement of some of sports' biggest moments. VERDICT You'd be ridonkulous not to buy this whole series!
