Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-5-In these basic overviews, the authors describe each activity in a way that both avid adventurers or novices will appreciate. The texts read smoothly, explaining each sport and the methods behind it. Safety is noted, such as a caution that mountain climbers must always let someone know their whereabouts and when they plan to return. The images often appear altered or edited but they provide readers with enough visual aid to complement the texts. For the most part, insert captions provide quick and interesting facts, but there are a few instances in which they do not have any relation to the photos to which they are attached. Each book concludes with a suggestion for the best place to participate in the featured activity. Overall, these are adequate additions for communities in which these activities are popular or in libraries in sore need of updates.-Keith Klang, Port Washington Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2013.
