Lives of the Athletes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The Krull and Hewitt series of books is wonderful. I'm an adult and I find them fascinating reading. There is a great amount of information about each character in only a couple of pages. The description of each athlete is informative, interesting and witty. Hewitt's illustrations are chock full of information. I found myself turning the page to look at the illustration as I read the text because I had missed some of the details when I first looked at the pictures.
The Lives of the Athletes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book was filled with humorous, little-known trivia andanecdotes about famous sports figures. I was especially impressedwith the wide variety of athletes that were included-Sir Edward Hillary, Bruce Lee, Gertrude Ederle, and Babe Didrickson Zaharias to name a few. As a classroom tool, this book is tops! Students in my class were entranced and could hardly wait to learn more about the other figures in this book! I highly recommend this and other Kathleen Krull books!
