Hilarious childhood biographies and full-color illustrations show how Tiger Woods, Gabby Douglas, Bruce Lee, Bille Jean King, and other budding sports champions faced kid-sized challenges growing up.
Forget the gold medals, the championships, and the undefeated seasons. When all-star athletes were growing up, they had regular-kid problems just like you. Baseball legend Babe Ruth was such a troublemaker, his family sent him to reform school. Race car champion Danica Patrick fended off bullies who told her “girls can’t drive.” And football superstar Peyton Manning was forced to dance the tango in his school play. Kid Athletes tells all of their stories and more with full-color cartoon illustrations on every page. Other subjects include Billie Jean King, Jackie Robinson, Yao Ming, Gabby Douglas, Tiger Woods, Julie Krone, Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, Bobby Orr, Lionel Messi, and more!

This is a very inspirational book for kids that teaches how famous athletes became the way they are and why/how they did it. I recommend it only for kids who are interested in things related to sports otherwise it will be boring.
I liked this book alot. It help me learn more about people
This book is about some famous athletes and their childhoods. It talks about each of the funny, scary, and dangerous things they did as a child. Some of the famous athletes are: Gabby Douglas, Peyton Manning, Danica Patrick, and Tiger Woods. There are many more!
Kid Athletes is all about famous athletes when they were kids, and what drove them to become who they are. Some of my favorite stories from this book were of Billie Jean King and Babe Ruth. Billie Jean King was a tennis player who never let a man named Perry T. Jones get in her way. Babe Ruth learned to be a bad kid in the saloon which his father owned. His parents decided he would have t go to reform school. There, he was made good by baseball and Brother Matthias. I recommend this book for people who like sports or history.
If you want to read about Peyton Manning dancing the tango I recommend you read this book. Last year I read the Kid Presidents book and really loved it so when I found out that there was a Kid Athletes book I had to read it. I liked reading about all the things that these kid athletes went through. The drawings are funny and really help to complete the short stories. It was a really great book.
This book is sooo good. I won it in one of the giveaways and I do not regret entering it. This book tells about some of the greatest athletes on earth and what problems they went through before reaching fame.
I like this book . It is interesting and teaches me things I never would have imagined . Like who would have guessed babe ruth went to reform school . Overall , this book is 4 stars . I would recommend it to people how like learning new stuff .
I love this book because i like exercising too and it is ver funny to me, like how he feels really disappointed when the "thief" stole his bicycle
