5.0 out of 5 stars A superb book for young gymnasts., July 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A Very Young Gymnast (Hardcover)
Jill Krementz' "A Very Young Gymnast" is one of the best of her "Very Young" books. It follows a real young girl through her training schedule and to an international gymnast demonstration. The spunky young gymnast is beautifully photographed in black and white and the text is written in her voice. It is in simple but not condescending language and so this book will be treasured for years to come. It is especially geared toward the 5 to 10 year old range but will be treasured into adulthood. I highly recommend this for any young person but specifically for the aspiring gymnast.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb, June 20, 2006
This review is from: A Very Young Gymnast (Hardcover)
This is an intriguing story about a very young gymnast. Children become mesmerized with the photographs and entranced with the little girl's dreams and successes. It is a great way for little girls to live vicariously, as not many have the ability to excel in gymnastics. It may be a bit extreme for young readers to understand the sacrifices required for such a level of competition, but it is demonstrated in a way that readers can experience the experience.

This review is from: A Very Young Gymnast (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book about gymnastics. It has lots of pictures. It's about a 10 year old gymnast who has aspirations to be in the olympics. It shows how she trains. The pictures are in black & white. Not only does it contains pictures of her, but also other gymnasts are here also. Nadia, Bart Conner & Kurt Thomas and more.

First published in 1978, it's a little dated-but it shows gymnastics as it once was. Very nice!
