Amazing Athletes

So beautifully illustrated and edited. I was so surprised and was not sure what to expect when reading this book. I learned so many amazing new things about impactful athletes and was so surprised to learn so much about some athletes that I thought I already knew so well. Highly recommend. Quick inspirational read. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Good addition on an already good series for kids to begin learning about exceptional people and their respective achievements in their own fields.

40 Inspiring Icons: Amazing Athletes is amazing! The nonfiction formatting selected engages readers in legendary feats, successes, timeline, and so much more. Each athlete is honored across two pages and includes an illustration of the athlete. Some of the names I knew, but so many more athletes I learned about as I read the book. I found it so interesting to see successful athletes from the early 1900’s, especially the ankle length dress figure skater, Madge Syers wore in the 1908 Olympics. I will definitely include 40 inspiring Icons: Amazing Athletes in my classroom and foresee it as a selection that will consistently be checked out to my students! #Hottingerhighlights #NetGalley #40inspiringiconsamazingathletes

Middle grade readers who are sports fans will enjoy reading the 40 profiles of amazing athletes from the past 100 years. Each profile includes interesting facts and information about what the athletes did after their sports career ended. Once I have a copy for my middle school library, I know exactly who I'll be recommending this book to read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is the perfect book for children aged 8-12 but also perfect for youth and adults alike.

A quick read filled with fact files of the 40 most incredible sporting icons alongside brilliant illustrations, it'll keep your mind occupied with wonder on how such amazing feats were accomplished. It suits its aim of educating people about lesser known icons like Mildred Zaharias, Madge Syers, Jim Thrope or Jonas Jacobsson and also brings to light the activism, recognition or feats of human excellence that they stood for.✨

What a wonderful book for budding athletes.

As the names says this a book full of AMAZING athletes from all over the world, from 1873 to current times.

Accompanying the captivating yet simple illustrations of each athlete are interesting facts about their lives and achievements both in their sport and outside of it.
