Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-8-A step-by-step instructional guide. Morrissey begins with a brief history of the sport and proceeds with the basics: the equipment needed, how to lace skates, and warm-up exercises. After this introduction, the author explains the various steps, starting with the simplest and advancing to backward skating, edges, jumps, spins, etc., using diagrams and full-color photographs and detailed captions. Finally, Morrissey mentions other sports and career opportunities that young ice skaters may choose to pursue. The photographs are wonderful. Boys and girls are represented as are various ethnic groups. There are a few shots of world-renowned skaters. Young skaters will relish this book, while nonathletes may find it interesting enough to read or browse through. Although there are a few other titles that cover this subject, none of them can match this well-written, attractively illustrated offering.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic book for the young ice skater,
By A Customer
This review is from: Young Ice Skater (Young Enthusiast) (Hardcover)
Having just read this book I am astonished at it's beauty. The skaters all look at ease which has motivated my daughter to want to do more. Both my daughter and I enjoy reading the book together and it has been a great help after each private skating lesson to understand exactly what my daughters coach has been saying. As a parent it is essential that I understand what my child needs to practise and this book certainly, has not only helped my daughter but has helped me understand much more about this wonderful sport of figure skating. Many thanks to Peter Morrissey
