Full of WACKY sports from around the world! This is a great read for on-the-go readers because each chapter can be read in about a minute.

I liked this book because it had a wide variety of "sports" that I never knew about. Some examples of sports could be playing hockey underwater of snowboarding on volcanoes. I really enjoyed reading this book.
