Publisher Synopsis
[Review for previous edition] Colorful photos and pleasing layout ... very eye catching. But there is also plenty of information to go along with the clean design ... An excellent introduction to the sport.--Denise Wilms"Booklist" (05/01/2001) [Review for previous edition] An informative, visually appealing guide for any child who is interested in this popular sport. Highly recommended.--Michelle Brian, Librarian, Faculty of Education, U"Canadian Materials" (11/16/2012) [Review for previous edition] Getting a child started in a gymnastics program can be confusing for the parent. Terminology, exercises and safety are all concerns and so it is nice to start off with a well-written guide book to familiarize yourself... With colour photographs throughout, the book provides a step-by-step guide to getting started. Accompanying the photographs are descriptions of the warm-up exercises, basic skills, and cool down stretches. Schlegel also discusses competition training and profiles a number of important gymnasts.--Terry Peters"North Shore News" (04/07/2013) [Review for previous edition] [STARRED REVIEW] An excellent book in every way ... Best of all, the book is accessible to early readers. Superb coverage of a popular sport.--Kate Kohlbeck"School Library Journal" (04/01/2001) [Review for previous edition] Goes beyond basics... proper techniques for basic moves on the balance beam, vault and uneven bars are illustrated with color photographs.--Jenna Galley"Trenton Times" (08/11/2004) Read more...
