Gr 4â6âAfter a short history of the individual race, the author launches into rules and traditions of the specific sport. The texts are attractively arranged around black-and-white and vibrant color photos. "Xtreme Fact" text boxes offer additional facts, e.g., "The Tour de France is also known as 'The Big Loop.'" In each volume, a spread focuses on sports stars throughout history, and sometimes a spread is devoted to important animals or vehicles. For example, Kentucky Derby gives praise to famous horses and several jockeys; America's Cup features well-known boats and skippers; and Iditarod praises the dogs as well as their mushers. In Tour de France, Lance Armstrong is mentioned along with the fact that "He was stripped of his wins in 2012 for drug use (doping)." Because it is difficult to find all this information gathered in one place, this set stands out and could be used for reports.
