I thought this book was spectacular because it told me things about different sports and tips. Plus it ask questions as the topic sentence like ¨Why is a wiffle ball so hard to hit?¨ then it will answer the question and say different pitches. My favorite part is the different experiments displayed.

242 pages of awesome! For reading ability reasons, great for kids aged 9-12. Otherwise, it would greatly interest slightly younger kids as well, whose parents would need to help them digest the pages and set up the experiments.
