[Surreysmum · Rating 2 out of 5]

Juvenile. This is a reworking for the American buyer of Milton's small book of the same title published in Canada by Key Porter Kids, 1996. It's in decorative boards rather than glossy paper, and Michelle Kwan replaces Elvis on the cover. The introductory material appears to be the same, but the choice of skaters is different. Included in this version: Baiul, Bobek, Boitano, Bourne & Kraatz, Brasseur & Eisler, Candeloro, Chen, Eldredge, Galindo, Gordeeva & Grinkov, Kerrigan, Kwan, Meno & Sand, Stojko, Torvill & Dean, Yamaguchi. Some of the changes are obvious, but the omission of Browning is downright puzzling.
