I liked it because I love gymnastics. I also like how it teaches you gymnastics.

Children work at new moves in their gymnastics class with their teacher Ms. Sims.

Gymnastics and Reading can go together Wonderful little book that I read with my aspiring gymnast daughter. It is a great way to tie gymnastics in with budding reading skills. I can also see it as a good book to get for a child who has yet to participate in gymnastics to learn some terms to help with them understand before they get to the gym.

An easy reader on about a 2nd grade level.
