A witty picture dictionary of the world’s most popular sports
Cycling, ice hockey, athletics, tennis, climbing ... There are so many sports, and they’re all fantastic fun!
Football is fantastic fun, except when your team keeps missing goals: that can make you cry. Horse-riding is also fantastic—so long as the horse goes where the rider wants. Running, cycling and swimming require fantastic agility and endurance. Billiards is quieter, but still fantastic fun!
Sports lovers small and big will find the one they love best—and some surprises—in this witty picture book, with funny animal characters trying out all the sports and a laconic commentary.

Facts galore, presented in an entertaining fashion; both children and adults will laugh a lot and learn even more.
Kirkus Reviews
Both the witty, detailed illustrations and the dryly humorous “commentary” are amusing, and altogether the book has a touch of the Richard Scarry about it.

Sports are indeed, fantastic fun, when written and illustrated by Ole Könnecke.
