Reviews
Grade 4-8-Two well-crafted titles. Decathlon tells about the equipment, training, scoring, and profiles of previous decathletes. Olympism does an excellent job of covering the history of the Games as well as the events and results of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Each sport is given a clear, up-to-date, two- to four-page description headed by the official Olympic symbol. The information in both books is accurate, well sequenced, and attractively presented. Unfortunately, the black-and-white photographs are small and not always well reproduced. Nonetheless, these books will be useful in most collections.
