The illustrations are incredible and the information has been carefully researched. I can't wait to introduce this book to my students!
Read this to boys during Olympics... lots of good information about Olympics. Good for younger children if you just want to read short paragraph per letter. Good for older children who want more info and can read more detailed info
I'm a huge fan of the Olympics, so of course I like this book. I bought it this summer during the games while I was home on maternity leave. It's a different alphabet book to read to my little one.
We used this for our Olympic Day but it is good all the time. Any sport team should reiview it with their kids.
The book is colorful and offers a variety of information about the Olympics. I needed to paraphrase parts of it for my lower level students.
I wanted my 2-3 grade students to learn more about the Olympics. This book provided interesting information and was a great read aloud.
