From School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-Each book begins with a brief history of its featured competition or sport before launching into a random selection of feats. For example, Olympic highlights the "Oldest Olympic Swimming Medalists" (Dara Torres and William Robinson) as well as "Most Summer Olympic Medals" (Michael Phelps). Numerous competitors are given sufficient attention; report writers will appreciate this set over Raintree's all-too-brief "Fantastic Sports Facts." Large, attractive, captioned, color and black-and-white photographs and reproductions are surrounded by sidebars of trivia on each spread. Even though the nature of the set's content will quickly date it (records are broken all the time), this series could be used to prompt conversation and/or further research. Select individual titles for sports that need representation in a collection. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
From Booklist
The books in the Amazing Sports Records series should quench the thirstiest of sports-stats-obsessed kids—and there are plenty of them out there. Each title briefly introduces the history of the sport in question before launching into facts and figures. Even the book design looks sporty, with each stat, photo, and paragraph of text appearing in a framed box and accented by background colors that are appropriately team-colored. Amazing Baseball Records bats for the cycle with stats like All-Time Home-Run Leaders, notable dates (Barry Bonds’ 756th home run on August 7, 2007), and Longest Winning Streaks (the New York Giants in 1916). Titles end with a glossary and further reading suggestions. It won’t be long before readers are spouting facts and testing others on their sports knowledge. (Quick: Most World Series Victories?) Grades 3-5. --Ann Kelley
