Snowboarding

Gr 1-4–This is for readers with no patience for fanciful stories; those who inhale facts and figures, memorizing all the information their brains can handle. Gish (Cycling) offers the perfect solution for all young info-hounds. Each page of this sleek, sporty book features a snazzy design, bold border lines on one side, and a lusciously large full-page snowboarding photo on the other. The photos set readers right in the middle of action, highlighting Olympic courses or action shots to accompany the text across from it. The book introduces the winter sport to future snow shredders, outlining the basics of equipment and snowboarding functions, progressing towards descriptions of competitive events and famous boarders. Unfamiliar vocabulary is highlighted and described on the same page. With the clear layout, this book isn’t just a perfect introduction to a fun winter sport; it also works as an introduction to nonfiction for young readers by highlighting subtitles, captions, glossary, and index within its economically planned pages.
