Provides a succinct history and breakdown of the summer Olympics for kids. I like how each of the chapters focus on a specific time period, highlighting different sports and notable athletes. The book does not shy away from weighty associated material, including information about Hitler, civil rights, the Munich massacre, the Cold War, AIDS and doping.

This was a great read that gave information about summer Olympic highlights over the years and a little background on how the summer Olympics came to be. A great overview for children, and adults that just want a snapshot of info will appreciate it as well.
