Carefully leveled text and fresh, vibrant photos engage young readers in learning about the basics of the sport of gymnastics. Age-appropriate critical thinking questions and a photo glossary help build nonfiction learning skills.
It's a pretty basic introduction to gymnastics. Since I was a gymnast for over a decade and now coach gymnastics, I would have liked a bit more about the equipment and different events.
Bumba has done a great job in this translation, aimed at an early elementary crowd. The content is also fantastic- explaining the components of gymnastics, and engaging readers by asking pertinent questions. This selection would be a good non-fiction addition to a foreign language collection. Recommended for optional purchase.
