About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-5-Good overviews of current figures in sport and music. In Yamaguchi, a sense of the young woman's determination to be a champion skater comes through in this story of her development from a baby in foot casts in 1971 to an Olympic gold medalist in 1992. In Brooks, the young man's rise as a country western singer is clearly traced through his performances and songs. However, information about his years growing up in Oklahoma is sparse. These two books have attractive full-color photographs on every other page. Students interested in the lives of these superstars will find these brief biographies appealing and lively.
