The Olympic Sports Series by Jason Page

The Olympic Sports Series by Jason Page
(Grades 2 and up)

The gray days of May will soon lead to sunny, summer skies, and what better place to prepare than your local library? Get ready to "Make a Splash" this summer with the colorful non-fiction Olympic Sports series by Jason Page. Look for the water sports books at our library featuring rowing, sailing, swimming, diving, water polo and more.

Did you know that sea otters often swim on their backs and can do it even in their sleep? Read about human and animal Olympians in this vibrant collection in which each page features photos, trivia and fun facts. Reluctant readers will celebrate the action shots and 'super stats' (water polo players can often swim up to 3.11 miles during a match!).

Get inspired for summer and visit www.newberglibrary.org to find this series at our library.
