Synopsis
This exciting sports almanac will tell kids everything they want and need to know about the previous year in sports (Fall '06 through Summer '07). It includes major sports (basketball, baseball, football, hockey); "secondary sports" (golf, tennis, cycling, auto racing); and action sports (BMX, snowboarding, in-line skating).
YEAR IN SPORTS 2008 is heavily illustrated with Sports Illustrated's fabulous action photos. It will also feature an all-new 16-page, four-color insert that contains photos of the year's most thrilling moments and memorable athletes.
For each sport, kids will find a list of team names (or the top players), team stats, championship game summaries (i.e., what happened in Super Bowl XXXXI or the 2007 NBA playoffs?), records and milestones, award winners (i.e., who are the Cy Young Award winners of the last 10 years?), all-time stats, past champions, "Did You Know?" questions, great moments in the sports, "Fast Facts," minibios of key personalities, and more.
This lively title offers kids quick, "cool" sports facts and isn't weighed down by lengthy blocks of texts. Just great information for sports fans of every age!
Children's Literature
Young sports fans interested in the statistical aspect of sports will appreciate this reference book. The editors of Sports Illustrated have compiled the very latest stat lists (2006-2007) for teams, standings, and athletes (men and women) at both the college and professional levels. The major sports included are baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer, and golf. Also included are action sports such as BMX, snowboarding, skateboarding, swimming, track and field, and the Olympics. They have also listed records related to each sport, all-time stats, and award winners, as well as short athlete bios and trivia. It is, not surprisingly, very straightforward in its presentation of list after list of numbers. It is strictly for the hardcore fan interested in comparing performance levels of teams and athletes using hard data. Reviewer: Trina Heidt
