(Paperback)
This exciting sports almanac will tell kids all they need to know about the previous year in sports (Fall '05-Summer '06). It includes major sports (basketball, baseball, football, hockey); "secondary sports" (golf, tennis, cycling, auto racing); action sports (BMX, snowboarding, in-line skating); and the Torino Winter Olympic Games.
Year in Sports 2007 is heavily illustrated with fabulous action photos. It will also feature a 16-page, four-color insert that contains photos of the year's thrilling moments and memorable athletes. Perfect for hanging in lockers!
The title says it all. Herein may be found a nearly infinite number of sports statistics ranging from pro and college football to golf, tennis, track and field, and onward to Olympics updatesfollowed by a "Sports Directory" of league addresses and assorted sports-oriented organizations. Never forgetting to mention the color center insert of action photos of star-name athletes. For kids who always have a yen to know the NBA final standings, MLS Legends, or Women's College Basketball stats, this is the place to find that information. Reluctant readers will gobble it up, and they will not find it the least intimidating to carry a copy of the book around. After all, aside from a brief blurb introducing each sport, there is barely a paragraph of straight prose in the entire book. Now on to memorizing the goals scored by each and every player in the Washington Capitals Hockey team!
