Teaching kids their ABCs and encouraging a variety of different athletic-packed pastimes-now that's a home run of a book.

Team Bill Martin Jr and Michael Sampson step up to the plate in A is for Athlete to combine early literacy and world-renowned sports. Each letter is accompanied with facts that introduce the rules or provide history for each sport. From "A" is for Athlete to "Z" is for Zamboni and all letters in between, kids will not only grow more confident in their reading skills but might find a new sport or two that they want to learn.

Martin, Bill: - Bill Martin Jr was the beloved author of more than three hundred books for children and teachers, including the classics Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, which was illustrated by his friend Eric Carle, and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, illustrated by Lois Ehlert. Bill was elected to the Reading Hall of Fame by the International Literacy Association. The Bill Martin, Jr Picture Book Award, which is the Kansas State award for best children's picture book, was established in his name in 1996.

Sampson, Michael: - Michael Sampson taught kindergarten through fourth grade before meeting fellow literacy expert Bill Martin Jr at a conference in Tucson, Arizona in 1978. They established a lifelong friendship and collaborated on many bestselling and award-winning books for children, including Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3, Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?, and Armadillo Antics.
