Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Courage in Sports
Todd Kortemeier · 2018
65/100
👎 Skip It
Solid classroom material; real sports anecdotes tied to a reflective quiz, and the fact that libraries have adopted the whole series says something about its usefulness. It reads more like curriculum than a book you'd curl up with, though, and 32 pages doesn't leave much room to breathe with any single example.
