three-stars

Focusing on mostly U.S. athletes, a photograph and a snapshot of some revolutionary female athletes who brought change to sports. The information was interesting about some well-known and lesser-known athletes. For an informational book, it lacked some of the common elements of a nonfiction book, such as page numbers, Table of Context, Index, or source notes or any kind of bibliographic references. The white text on brightly colored pages was difficult to read. That said, the book will be entertaining for upper elementary and middle school students, especially the costumes worn by some of the older women.
