From Booklist:
The Sporting Championships series helps introduce a variety of the most celebrated athletic events. Each book contains a history of the event and a rundown of the rules of the sport associated with it to lay the groundwork for readers, then delves deeper into various particulars, with brief chapters titled “Historical Highlights,” “Legends and Current Stars,” and “Famous Firsts.” What’s most revealing from The Masters, aside from information on perhaps lesser-known records and past winners, is the rundown on how golfers qualify for the renowned tournament, as well as succinct coverage of the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club, which together help impart a suitable sense of loftiness. While the writing tends to hang information on dates and at times lacks contextual focus, this series does an adequate job of imparting how specific tournaments and championships evolve over time and could provide a welcome complement to more general overviews of each sport. Grades 4-6. --Ian Chipman
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4-6-Constructed on such a rigid framework that all volumes have entries on women in their respective sports, even though all but the NASCAR races are men-only, these portraits of championship competitions and games offer fans and non-fans alike generous quantities of background information. This includes not only historical developments and highlights, but also labeled views of playing fields and competition sites, discussions of basic rules of play, official equipment descriptions, sections on "Famous Firsts," galleries of legendary stars, maps, quizzes, and even, on a dedicated website, multimedia material. A mix of labeled images and action photos provides information and visual energy.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
