(4) K-3 All Aboard Reading series. This early-reader biography details how its subjects became the biggest names in skateboarding history and helped draw attention to the sport with their stunts and annual appearance in the Vert Doubles Competition at the X Games. While the text could benefit from more and better-quality photos of the skateboarders in action, it does a creditable job of explaining skateboarding moves and lingo. Glos.
