Book Reviews of Kids Running: Have Fun, Get Faster & Go Farther
Book Review: An open door to an unselfish sport
Summary: 5 Stars
The rap on kids sports today seems to be about too much, too soon, too much specificity, too much competitiveness, too much pressure, too much incentive to specialize early and practice one sport.
And then there's Carol Goodrow's vision of Kids' Running, which is the the reverse of every reason parents might be afraid of getting their kids involved in sports. Want to run? Great, here's some ways to have fun doing it. Want to ride your bike today instead? Jump rope, play some kickball, play a game with your teammates? No problem, go ahead, you won't even notice you're still running. Want to do a race or two? Nothing but good news.
This book is a reassuring reference for parents, but it's also an empowering menu of fun stuff for kids, too, enough to make their parents wish they were kids again and could be out running the butterfly loops with their friends, too. For more advanced readers, there are characters who can be followed through the book as they figure out this sport for themselves.
