Review Quotes: All the books in this bilingual series contain photographs of children enjoying a sport. Each book describes the sport, how to play it, body parts used, how children feel when playing the sport, and how to stay healthy. At the end of each book there is a list of equipment needed. All but Natación defines important vocabulary words used in the sport.
