Teaching kids their ABCs and encouraging a variety of different athletic-

literacy and world-renowned sports. Each letter is accompanied with facts
that introduce the rules or provide history for each sport. From “A” is for
Athlete to “Z” is for Zamboni and all letters in between, kids will not
only grow more confident in their reading skills but might find a new sport
or two that they want to learn.

DK Paul –
A is for Athlete finds an athletic item for each letter of the alphabet. The text then describes the sport, famous players, or items of interest. I think sports topics offer an interesting diversion for young readers. The Illustrations are very good.
