Grab their attention with a book about sports!

Update - these books are getting ready to go into a local Little Free Library so that others can enjoy them as we did!  

Sports has a funny way of pulling people together.  It is fun to go to a game, to give a friend a hard time about their team if it isn't yours.  I personally love college football the most, but being as though I worked at a sports bar before becoming a mom, I do know a little about several sports.  I have always been a fan of reading, but you hear people saying that they don't like to read!   (Yes, they are out there!)   That being said, it was awesome to get a few books that talk sports, as it would totally grab the attention of some that might say they don't enjoy reading!

This is the next installment in the popular Fanbook series and is chock-full of all the nerdy-cool insider knowledge that fans ready for next-level, in-depth stats need to know. Tailor-made for baseball fanatics who know the basics of the sport they love and are looking to become super fans, this new fanbook is filled with fun trivia, unique lingo, and illustrated behind-the-skills how-to's. Chapters include Team Tidbits (facts about every MLB team), Think Like a Manager (essential strategies), He Reminds Me Of (comparing current plays to legendary greats), and much more! 


WOMEN ATHLETES WHO RULE! profiles 101 extraordinary female athletes, both past and present, who shaped the narratives of their sports. Content is divided into several easy-to-digest sections for young readers: Superstars (who reinvented what it means to be a sports celebrity), Wonder Women (who transcend sports and created seismic shifts in our culture), Trail Blazers (who broke barriers and paved the way for others to follow), Record Breakers (who set new standards for excellence), and the Champions (who showed heart and gumption as winners).
