I'll Root for You and Other Poems

(3) K-3 Translated by David Colmer. Illustrated by Wolf Elbruch. This is a unique collection of poems covering all aspects of sports and sportsmanship, including winning and losing and believing in yourself. With poems on running, cycling, tennis, and swimming as well as tree sports and playing in the snow, this Dutch import has far-reaching appeal. Each poem is illustrated with a silly animal-athlete caricature.
