Young girls who are interested in gymnastics may very much enjoy this title. It has a number of motivational quotes and coloring pages, along with some games & puzzles.
Here are encouraging quotes by Olympic stars including Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee and others. Activities include word search puzzles, a crossword, mazes, and a word scramble. All of these are gymnastics themed.
This book offers both fun and encouragement to young (armchair or not) gymnasts. So, have a child get out their colored pencils and get to work. Note that the number of puzzles is six as some kids might be hoping for more.
Many thanks to NetGalley and FOWGID Publishing for this title. All opinions arae my own.
I enjoyed looking through the pages of American Gymnastics. I appreciated that the pictures to color were of actual Olympic gymnasts, and not just generic photos. I also liked that there were activities other than coloring, such as word searches, and mazes. Lastly, the motivational quotes could potentially give gymnastics some insight into how their role models handle the stress and demands of such a difficult sport.
