Critics Review

This snazzy production works. It works because it is inclusive, not just in the choice of sports, but in the illustrative style…World of Sport will appeal to those who aren’t ‘sporty’, as much as to those with active ambitions; as much to six-year-olds as to upper primary children. Highly recommended. * ReadingZone *
Ideal for children aged 8-12, it provides a comprehensive look at the diverse world of sport, promoting cultural understanding, physical activity and inclusivity… ideal for KS2 libraries. * The School Reading List *
This high-energy, inspirational book is guaranteed to make you work up a sweat! * Yorkshire Evening Post *
