I love this book. This book sparked my interest in gymnastics. Once I read it (Well, my mom read it to me ;) ), when I was 4, I wanted to learn how to do the cartwheel. After I learned the cartwheel, I started learning other stuff like that and now I am part of the team "Xheni Gymnastics"(original name: "Xheni Gjimnastikë") the Tirana team. I never would have gotten where I am if it weren't for this book :)
