by Amanda Durrant, Chris Fairclough
(Illustrator)
From Booklist , January 15, 1994
Gr. 3-5, younger for reading aloud. This book provides an introduction to the sport of gymnastics, which has become increasingly popular with the success of American men and women in the Olympics. Wisely, Durrant concentrates on instructions for basic warm-up, stretching, and strengthening exercises rather than on competitive gymnastic events. Male and female children demonstrate good posture, walking, running, stretching, and balancing exercises, while photographs of champion athletes indicate what could be in store for those who train assiduously. The format is colorful and attractive, but, best of all, the children seem to be having fun. This could be just the inducement needed to lure a couch potato away from the TV and onto the mat.

AWESOME!
As a gymnast I never paid much attention to Kerri Strug. I was always rooting for Kim Zmeskal, Shannon Miller, or Dominique Moceanu. After her stunning performances in Atlanta I was urged to read this book. I could not put it down. I never realized how many times she moved, the injuries she had, and her struggle to acheive her goals. After reading this revealing book I never looked at Kerri Strug the same.

A good overview book.
This book has a general history of Romania and Romanian Gymnastics. Then there are some facts about the 1996 Romanian National Team. The book comes with a CD Rom which has movies with lots of past routines from the 70's 80's and 90's. This is definetly worth buying.

In a series of busy double-page spreads, this overview covers fishing
as a sport and discusses and illustrates fishing gear, tackle, bait,
casting technique, surf fishing, and fishing with flies, bobbers,
sinkers, and lures. Informative and visually appealing, though
somewhat repetitive, this book emphasizes treating fish humanely.
