One Childhood - One Chance

Mr Noble recommends...Sportopedia by Adam Skinner

Sportopedia is the ultimate guide to the world of sport. Learn amazing facts about all your favourite sports, and discover new ones you may not have heard of before. Whether you're into team sports, target sports, track and field, or aquatic sports, this book has a huge selection of athletes - male, female, able-bodied and Paralympians - and celebrates the talents of sportspeople everywhere. Covering ball sports, such as football, rugby, volleyball, lacrosse and cricket; racket sports such as tennis, table tennis and badminton; athletics and gymnastics; target sports such as shooting, archery and golf; as well as combat sports such as judo, karate and boxing, this book covers everything from very well known activities to the more unknown sporting hobbies such as boccia and kabaddi.

 

I love reading this book as I get to learn about some sports I have never heard of before, which I find really interesting. Even reading about the sports I know and do myself I still end up learning a new fact that I didn’t know before for example did you know swimming has been a sport for 10,000 years!! This is just one new fact I learnt from reading the book. Sportopedia isn’t just full of facts it has bright pictures to help you understand the sport more. I love this book I hope you do to!
