My selection is "The Fastest Game on Two Feet: and other poems about how sports began" written by Alice Low with illustrations by John O'Brien.
Here is a collection of poems on topics as varied as bowling, gymnastics, soccer, surfing, badminton and Frisbees. Low digs into the history of athletic endeavor and the origins of specific sports in a fun-filled style that is both entertaining and educational. Factual notes, interesting trivia and a timeline round out the book. The humorous tone is echoed by O'Brien's larger-than-life ink and watercolor artwork.
