The Winter Olympics

great book for younger readers and older

School aged children learned all the timely sports for this years winter Olympics. Photos bright and colorful! Sturdy library binding!

good insight to read

I was a little hesitant to buy this because of lack of information, so picked up the paperback version. It's only 32 pages including index, but an engaging read with very good illustrations - just what I needed for my elementary school students. In fact, I'm going to order the hardcover as well, because I think it will be well used with Sochi coming up, and beyond. Hunter discusses the history of the Olympics, the individual sports, many of the stars, the Paralympics, controversies and the upcoming 2014 games. I learned a lot! Definitely worth it.
