~Library Media Connection (Retired Journal) | 01/01/2010 |
Gr. 6-12. This is a multi-title review. Includes: 'Orienteering', 'Rock Climbing', 'Canoeing and Kayaking', and 'Fishing'. This highly informative nonfiction series focuses on a few recreational activities readers can experience in the great outdoors. The activities may not be the most mainstream, but the exposure to such topics may lead to interest and greater involvement. The books provide an adequate history and overview of each activity and in-depth coverage of equipment, strategies, and basic skill sets. Each brief chapter is full of information and photographs. The quality and extent of information is impressive, but may also deter less skilled readers. The content would pique the curiosity of a select group but may not resonate with a broad base. The text encourages readers to experience the excitement and unending possibilities of nature and our environment. Kudos to PowerKids Press for providing a regularly updated link for finding websites pertaining to each activity. This is a nice addition to a sports and recreation collection as it provides some alternatives to the major sports. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Table of Contents. Index. Recommended. Nick Petrosino, School Library Media Specialist, Harmon Middle School, Pickerington, Ohio 32pg. LINWORTH PUBLISHING, c2010. |
