Readers will discover exciting stats and information about golf's biggest stars.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>So who really is the greatest athlete of all time? This series narrows the greatest debate in sports down by sharing contenders in different athletic fields. After laying out the history of each, the books countdown the top 10 athletes in each sport. In Boxing's G.O.A.T., and Pro Wrestling's G.O.A.T. readers will learn about the powerful athletes who gravitate toward these heavy-hitting sports, like the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. and superstar golden boy Hulk Hogan. The athletes of gymnastics (like the amazing Simone Biles) and track and field (including Jesse Owens) put their bodies on the line every day to achieve greatness. Golf and tennis greats do that, too, but they also perfect the use of their tools to battle for the title of greatest. Each book ends with a prompt for readers to consider who they think is the G.O.A.T.--one of the athletes listed or someone else entirely! VERDICT <strong>Full of engaging play-by-play writing, this series is a real winner.</strong>--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>Each volume in the Sports' Greatest of All Time series presents a list of top-rated athletes in a given sport, beginning with the tenth ranked and ending with the very best. After a four-page introduction to the sport and its history, the book spotlights each chosen competitor in a double-page spread encompassing two paragraphs of information, three photos, and a box of notable facts and/or statistics. <em>Golf's G.O.A.T.</em> introduces outstanding players from the PGA and LPGA over the past 90 years. From Olga Korbut to Kohei Uchimura to Simone Biles, <em>Gymnastics's G.O.A.T.</em> is refreshingly international in its selections. <em>Pro Wrestling's G.O.A.T.</em> looks at the drama and rivalries as well as the strengths and signature moves of these sports stars. <em>Track and Field's G.O.A.T</em> celebrates 10 women and men who have excelled at events involving running, jumping, and throwing. While the wrestling book includes only two women, in the other volumes, the coverage is more evenly split between women and men. The text is quite readable, and the photos are well chosen. Even when only black-and-white pictures are available, page layouts and colorful design elements add visual appeal. <strong>Each book closes by challenging readers to research the sport's history, make their own top-ten lists, and discuss their choices with friends.</strong><strong>An appealing series for sports fans.</strong>--<em>Booklist</em></p>-- "Journal" (10/15/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
