Great book for learning basic gymnastics terminology. Was a little disappointed that the black girl needed assistance and was always last, but at least we were represented in the sport.

I liked this book because I like gymnastics, and because I liked the part where they jumped in the foam pit.

I'm a real fan of DK books.

They're simple. They're informative. They're cheap. If your child is too young to read, they're perfectly good read-aloud books.

What more can you ask for when stocking your kid's library?

The routines in this book are pretty realistic, and the girls' concerns and triumphs are clearly shown - seems like it'd be pretty encouraging to any girl taking gymnastics.

Progressive Reading skills with Gymnastics theme
Another great book to that I read with my aspiring gymnast daughter. It is a great way to tie gymnastics in with progressing reading skills. I can also see it as a good book to get for a child who may want to be in gymnastics.

Basic information about gymnastics, wrapped around a cute story of two friends going to class. Jack enjoyed, though he thought it looked very hard.
