Sports are Fantastic Fun! For starters there are so many different games and activities, beginning with ‘football- a.k.a soccer’. We learn how this game is played, with entertaining, anecdotal illustrations too! It seems that in football, ‘ a team scores a goal, everybody is happy’.

Thereafter, we learn about ‘figure skating‘ who we are ‘beautiful costumes and ice skates‘ with judges and ‘leaps and twirls‘.

Other sport described includes ‘cross-country skiing‘ and ‘ski jumping’ and ‘ice hockey’. However, there are sports beyond the ice and sports fields. It seems there is a wealth of sport involving horses too, from show jumping to horse racing, dressage and rodeo!

Ole Könnecke offers a wealth of information within this outstanding reference style book, alongside introducing such comedic illustrations as to make us laugh-out-loud. We are awed by the descriptiveness of his cast’s pursuits, from climbing to rugby, windsurfing to rope-walking. Furthermore, this is within a text that aligns to the depth of Sportopedia. All in all, Sports are Fantastic Fun is a formidable title, ideal as a gift, or a book to pick up, read and read again, share and love.
