Each title opens with a child enjoying his sports equipment and wondering, 'How was it made?' The answer unfolds in a series of double-page spreads spotlighting the manufacturing process. On each right-hand page, a large color photo shows one step in making and assembling the components that become the finished product. The facing page carries a few short sentences of text commenting on the process. While the photos show a racially diverse group of adults making the products, the few children picture all appear to be boys. Still, the topic is manufacturing, and these well-focused books do a good job of showing what happens in the factories. In <em>From Leather to Basketball Shoes</em>, pieces of leather are cut, stitched, and glued to the molded midsole and outsole before the basketball shoes are laced, boxed, and sent to stores. <em>From Plastic to Soccer Ball</em> explains construction of the plastic-coated cloth ball and the insertion of an inflatable bladder inside it. <em>From Steel to Bicycle</em> goes from the making of a steel-tube frame to the conveyor belt where workers add wheels, handlebars, pedals, and seats. <strong>Colorful page design, large type, and clear photos make the series an attractive choice for young readers.</strong> --<em>Booklist</em></p>-- "Journal" (6/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)<br>
