Editorial Reviews

05/01/2019

Gr 5–8—Breaking down each sport's stats by individuals, teams, and postseason records, this series lets readers take a gander at true athletic excellence. Each chapter begins with a story of individual achievement, followed by lists of various records. Athletes who are still active are indicated with asterisks, so readers can see who is still on the hunt for first place. Kids will see many familiar names—LeBron James and Stephen Curry feature frequently in Pro Basketball Records—and still more that they don't recognize. As per usual, Pro Hockey Records readers are going to see an abundance of Wayne Gretzky. Surprisingly, Pro Baseball Records has a ton of records from as early as the late 1800s. Sidebars interspersed throughout the lists are simple and easily digestible, so they don't detract from the data. VERDICT A quality, browsable addition for statheads.
