PreS-Gr 2–This series helps young readers decide whether a particular sport might be a good fit for them. Each book opens with a short play-by-play scene that introduces the sport in action, then shifts to an overview of how the game is played, its history, required equipment, and the skills needed to be a great player. Together, these elements provide a basic understanding of the sport for readers who are curious but may have limited prior knowledge. The writing is clear and approachable, keeping explanations brief and easy to follow. Background graphics, color photographs, and text boxes add visual appeal and help break up the text. Overall, this is a fine introductory series. Each book includes a table of contents, suggestions for further reading, and an index. 

VERDICT: A fine purchase for collections needing basic introductions to a variety of sports.
