This book can help a youngster understand the purpose of learning a sport and pushing a little harder than usual. My grandson finally realized why he was swimming laps and has helped him be a better swimmer. He's to young to read "Under the Surface" by himself, but he will grow into that book also.
I bought this book for my 6 year old son who's a competitive swimmer. He loved watching Michael Phelps in the Olympics, and I thought he'd enjoy learning more about him. My son generally loves non-fiction, but this one unfortunately fell flat. The facts were presented in a rather boring way, without much detail. We read it together once, and he has never picked it up again.
This book served a good purpose giving all a brief intro to the world of Michael Phelps!
Factual without Hollywood drama. Respected the fact that Michael's Mother and sister were mentioned as a great support to his success. Sharing the help of family and friends to his success gives me great admiration for Michael Phelps. As well as his integrity to representing the U.S.A. In the olympics., and all the years of training and discipline to become such an extraordinary athlete
