Swimming Is Fun! (First Step Nonfiction) - Softcover

"Clean, crisp design supports the easy-reader format of this set, as does the repetitive, simple texts. The titles' focus, except for Dance, is on team competition; this includes Swimming, which considers its sport solely as a team undertaking and not as an individual activity. Dance briefly introduces ballet, jazz, and tap, and observes, 'There are so many ways to dance!' Each book begins with a question. For example, Baseball asks, 'Do you like to throw or hit a ball?' The pages go on to describe the aims of each sport and any necessary gear such as a glove, bat, and ball. Color photos of diverse children (including a girl in Football) illustrate each point and enhance the basic information." --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
