Famous Firsts, by Natalie Rompella

Famous Firsts: The Trendsetters, Groundbreakers & Risk-Takers Who Got America Moving!
by Natalie Rompella
(Grades 4 - 6)

Don't look for great American pastimes here- instead Rompella explores sports like surfing, trampolining, skateboarding and cheerleading. With bright pages and pictures of both early models of equipment as well as present day athletes, this book will be engaging to those interested in the history of the sports. With a magazine-like format this book would be a great for reluctant readers.
