Sportorama

The bright book by Benoit Tardif presents to children the most important moments of twenty-four sports, including Olympic, team and individual, recorded on easy-to-read multi-colored pictures. Show jumping and baseball, golf and judo, bowling and cricket – all these "overseas" words will immediately become clear, and your children will easily organize unusual competitions in the yard or feel a strong desire to go to the sports section in the fall. Tennis, sailing, short track, rowing, pole vaulting – in whatever section we look, we will see exciting moments of matches and competitions, the necessary sports equipment and equipment, the marking of the playing field or track, learn the basic terms used by athletes and judges. We will see a spectacular pass in American football, learn what a smash hit is in badminton and dribbling in basketball, admire a confident pitcher, a catcher standing at the ready and a well-aimed batter in baseball, marvel at the musical names of the parts of the fencer's costume, learn the names of sailing styles and ship sails. Humorous moments and phrases will add pleasure when viewing the book. Here an athlete jumping from a tower admires the view, here a bird faints after meeting a high-flying jumper in the air, here a snowman climbs a mountain to scare skiers, here a golfer unsuccessfully sends a ball into the mouth of a crocodile, here a snail at a cricket match comments on a bowler's crushing throw. You will not have to be bored with the book! In the middle of the book, the enthusiastic reader is invited to take a little break and find something on the sports field. And at the end, the most curious are waiting for a concise accurate description of all the sports mentioned in the book and a small dictionary of sports terms.
