From School Library Journal
Grade 4-5?These young athletes are poorly served by Rambeck's lackluster biographies. The brief texts provide minimal details. Kristi Yamaguchi mentions that the former Olympian skates professionally, but fails to discuss her lucrative and decorative five-year career. The overriding theme of Michelle Kwan is the skater's quest to win gold at the Olympics in Nagano. Because it speculates on a February 1998 competition, the book will be dated before it hits the shelves. Tiger Woods omits reference to the golfer's victory at the Masters competition. The sequences jump abruptly from the present to the past, unfolding careers through sometimes confused chronologies of competitions. The full-page, full-color photographs in the skating books are out of focus, and the airborne shots are awkward and unflattering.?Abigail Jane Goldberg, Brooklyn Public LibraryCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
