Gabby Douglas: Historic Olympic Champion

32 pp. | ABDO | January, 2013 | Library ISBN 978-1-61783-748-7 $19.95
(4) K-3 Big Buddy Biographies series. Highlighting Douglas's success as the first African American gymnast to win gold in the individual all-around event at the Olympics, this profile moves largely chronologically through its subject's life and career. The content-light text is easy to read and should appeal to new and reluctant readers. Many promotional-looking photos add to the books' teen-magazine appearance. Glos., ind.
