Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Science of Gymnastics
Katie Kawa · 2015
65/100
👎 Skip It
Same sturdy Rosen Publishing formula as its baseball sibling — vivid photos, classroom-ready structure, light STEM connections — but reader feedback flags that the science stays too surface-level even for elementary audiences. The mixed reviews and small sample size keep confidence modest. Fine as a shelf filler in a library unit on gymnastics; hard to recommend over richer alternatives.
