The Winter Olympics For Kids is a short overview of The Winter Olympic Games. Primarily a picture book, it is appropriate for kids, ages 6 to 12, who are learning to read. It can be a great way, especially with a parent's guidance, for a young reader to learn a little bit about some history, why and where the Games are played and what events take place. Symbols and symbolism are discussed briefly, as well as the simple "heart" or message of the Games - the promotion of world peace and understanding through a friendly sports competition. The book encourages the young reader to dream big while playing in the snow and imagine becoming an Olympian! Targeted for short attention spans, it contains approximately 1250 words (some challenging) and 60 pictures or graphics. This is a really great quick-read primer for kids interested in learning about The Winter Olympic Games!
