I love Sleeping Bear press books, and this one is no exception. We are studying the Olympics and the younger kids enjoyed the rhyming text and the older kids (and Mom) learned alot about the history of the Olympics.
As an alphabet book this is so-so but the facts about the Olympics is wonderful.

I enjoyed reading the facts about the Olympics but the actual ABC part of the book was a tad underwhelming.
