Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-13 00:00:00 Todd Landess At this point I have read a number of junior level Olympics books. This was one of the best, I think. Sue Macy's writing style is so clear and engaging that I was eager to read the rest of her works.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-06 00:00:00 Cm Coomer Junior Books Project Category: Informational Source: Textbook pg280 This informational book is a delight to read when wanting to learn all about the Winter Olympics! It describes the first Winter Olympics games back in 1924 in France. It wasn't officially named the Winter Olympics until two years later! Then, they were just calling it Winter Sports Week. It discusses the "weather jinx" which is when the weather doesn't cooperate. It discusses the different medalists, the different games, the different equipment, and the conflicts between competitors. This exciting look into the Winter Olympics will have people of all ages excited for the next games! When first looking at this book you see a female olympian in a red bodysuit. She's got the face of a winner. The title are located in the middle and lower part of the book and the top right corner has the National Geographic symbol. The back of the book has a small description of what the Winter Olympics are about and a couple reviews for the book. At the bottom, there is also a small bio of the author. This will be a great book to use to get students to learn about the different sports in the Winter Olympics. You can compare and contrast with the Summer Olympics. You can get students to create their own classroom olympics and have students design their own medal to present to the winners.
