Good Sports Rhymes About Running, Jumping, Throwing, And More

Exhilarating, all-new, kid-friendly rhymes capture the range of emotions, from winning to losing to the sheer joy of participating, that children experience as they discover the games of their choice. Jack Prelutsky, a virtuoso at making poetry fun for the elementary school crowd, includes in this inspired collection poems about baseball, soccer, football, skating, swimming, gymnastics, basketball, karate, and more. His signature lighthearted humor in verse that trips off the tongue is coupled here with the 2006 Caldecott Medal winner Chris Raschka's lickety-split, stylized (and stylish) watercolors. Every page is a blaze of color and motion. WhetherGood Sportswill create good sports remains to be seen, but it will prove to young boys (and girls) that reading poetry can be fun.Prelutsky, Jack is the author of 'Good Sports Rhymes About Running, Jumping, Throwing, And More', published 2007 under ISBN 9780375837005 and ISBN 0375837000.
