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!

I love this book. it was fun i learned about sports and legends. read this book it is a one of a kind book !!!!!!!
I am not into sports, but I thought this book was really interesting. I thought it would be lame and boring. I liked the drawings and short stories.
this book was cool because its all real. ididnt know you could be that good and still be a kid. i didnt know that some kids dont even go to school to play sports instead. everybody should be able to do this. why do we have to go to school all day when it can be done in just an hour
This book is about all different famous athletes, the true tale of their childhood. Like how Gabby Douglas first learned to deal with bullies, how Yao Ming grew up thinking that he was too tall to fit through a doorway, or how legendary hockey player Bobby Orr grew up picking worms on a farm. It is really interesting how your reading all about famous athletes my age.
This book is about sports players when they were young. It tells about how they started out as children, an then how they grow,and it has strange facts!
