FROM THE CRITICS

Children's Literature - Childrens Literature

This handy little guide is just right for those who will be watching the upcoming Olympic games and want to know a little about a particular event. It offers an overview of the sport including the Olympic Fact File which offers trivia about ancient and modern games and little features about prior Olympic winners of a particular sport. Did you know that "The term "hockey" is thought to come from the French word "hoquet," which means a shepherd's crook, because of its curved shape." At the bottom of the page there is a line showing the reigning Olympian for each of the highlighted sports. Full color illustrations and photographs fill each page. There is even a table of contents, an index and a table of country codes. Part of the series "Zeke's Olympic Pocket Guides." 2000, Lerner, Ages 7 up, $3.95. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot—Children's Literature
