Quick Summary
"Gymnastics for Fun!" takes young readers behind the curtain of the gymnastics world, showing them exactly what happens at practice, what all that colorful equipment actually does, and how athletes prepare to flip and tumble their way to victory. Kids will love the up-close look at the vault, beam, bars, and floor routines, plus the insider tips on what coaches really look for and how competitions work. If your kid likes the National Geographic Kids readers about sports or the "Who Would Win?" series, they'll gravitate toward this front-row seat to gymnastics action. This is perfect for kids ages 5 to 8 in kindergarten through second grade who are curious about sports or dream of somersaulting across a mat.
