From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-4-These basic introductions have small formats, large print, easy-to-read texts, and a number of full-color photos. Figure Skating briefly explains the little-known history of this sport and introduces skating equipment. Stories of pioneers of the late 1800s, including Axel Paulsen, inventor of the axel jump, are mentioned. How soccer came to be called soccer in the U.S. rather than football is explained in the second title. In addition to historical information and profiles of champions, each book incorporates a bit of sports trivia. Solidly researched, easy nonfiction.
