"Suitable additional purchases." —School Library Journal

From the Publisher

Gr 2–4—This series tries to pack enough information to satiate sports enthusiasts within its slim volumes. Each book begins by describing the final few moments of a notable championship game, before discussing its origin. For some, this includes finals for both male and female leagues, like the NCAA Final Four and FIFA World Cup. The Daytona 500 is notable for being the only championship where gender division doesn't exist. In each book, qualifying for the final is discussed, before past legends, like the NFL's undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins, are mentioned at the end, to no doubt inspire readers. Comprehension questions at the end of the text challenge readers to synthesize what they have learned. While the writing is not particularly thrilling, it's enthusiastic enough to keep its young audience engaged, though they may need to find other books if they are still interested in learning more. VERDICT Suitable additional purchases.
