About this book
In this bright and engaging non-fiction text, the reader is introduced to a massive range of information from the world of sports – expertly compiled by a team of writers from Usborne.
Learn about the history of sports and the evolutions, innovations, statistics and facts that relate to this significant aspect of global culture. Humorous illustrations and creative infographics complement the breadth of information and make the book feel very accessible.
The layout focuses on distinct topics contained in single or double paged sections, making it a good option for readers who want to dip in and out. Similarly, content is itemised clearly and effectively, using index and contents pages, maps, labels and other figures to make the reader's experience smooth and rewarding.
Along with their other 100 Things to Know series, this is a brilliant way into non-fiction reading and its subject matter will make it a popular choice. This text provides excellent examples of the features of non-fiction writing and would lend itself well to teaching children how to write to inform effectively.
