From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2?If you're looking to stock up on books about the Olympics as the Summer Games in Atlanta draw near, here's a suitable purchase. The scant text depicts everyone from the athletes to those who manufacture equipment for both the Summer and Winter games. Hennessy gives an overview of what's involved in putting on and participating in the Olympics, rather than factual accounts of various competitions. Still, readers and listeners will be made aware of the opening ceremonies, the myriad events, the medal presentations, and the Olympic village. No athletes or specific sites are mentioned by name. Cartoonlike illustrations provide a suitable complement to the breezy writing style. A basic introduction.?Tom S. Hurlburt, La Crosse Public Library, WI
