Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4. A fine translation that retains the spirit and vitality of the original English text. This photo-essay takes readers through an actual karate class and emphasizes the teaching of values such as self-respect and humility in addition to physical skills of balance and coordination. From the first warm-up kicks to the final meditation, an enthusiastic boy and his friends demonstrate the routines that will earn them the green belt or "obi." The use of real kids in photos enlivens the text. This should be a popular title among the growing number of youngsters who share the experience of Saturday and after-school karate classes.?Marisa Parish, New York Public Library
