Gr 4–6—Considering the popularity of the Super Bowl, this set should have no trouble finding an audience. Super Bowl Records is a real winner for its wide range of coverage, from individual games to career-long overviews of players like Jerry Rice, who has the most career Super Bowl receptions. Stars of the Super Bowl focuses heavily on quarterbacks, with less attention to the contributions of other offensive powerhouses. The most exciting offering of the bunch, Super Bowl Surprises, provides students with underdog stories of teams that went against the odds to topple their giant opponents. Some overlap occurs throughout the series, though in most cases it is minor.
For young sports enthusiasts with an interest in numbers, these two books identify old and new statistical concepts in each sport; explain their potential importance; and personalize this analysis with vignettes of pro athletes who have set game, season, and career records. The numbers-focused narratives are supplemented by action photos and many charts with stats. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Sports Illustrated Kids: Sports Stats and Stories titles: Basketball Stats and the Stories Behind Them and Football Stats and the Stories Behind Them.
