SERIES REVIEW: Lerner Sports presents slim titles that introduce young readers to some of the best athletes in the named sport. Each title features a double page spread with two sentences capturing what the athlete is known for, a career statistic, and a photograph (mostly color but some older athletes have b&w photos). Out of the six series titles, this reviewer saw three, two of which (Gymnastics Superstars and Basketball Superstars) included both female and male athletes. Of limited use in most collections due to missing details, such as years played, teams they were on, or anything beyond a very limited snapshot of why the name is worth knowing.
