Industry Reviews Gr 3-6 Jackson combines excellent-quality full-color photographs and a supportive text to outline the preparation for and execution of a number of track-and-field events. The descriptions are clear and accurate with step-by-step diagrams of youngsters performing the skills. Some pages seem busy, but beginners will benefit from the detail. World record holders are shown competing in heptathlon and decathlon events. Vocabulary terms are defined within the text. This attractive, oversized title can be enjoyed for the pictures or for the information. Janice C. Hayes, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreeboro Lopate
