"Lucy Tries Luge is a lovely, rhyming tale by sports reporter, Lisa
Bowes, that's very sweetly illustrated by James Hearne. And as soon
as I started reading it to my kids, my preschooler and
kindergartener were enthralled...I love this story for many
reasons, but mostly because it makes an Olympic-calibre sport
attainable and understandable to a very young child. By making the
logical comparison between luging and tobogganing, Bowes gives
children a tangible connection to Lucy and her luge."-- "Stephanie
Slate, Active for Life"
"Lucy Tries Luge is a great book as it educates and introduces
children to new sport opportunities. It gets them excited about
sports, with a focus on moving, playing, and having fun!"--
"Arianne Jones, World Cup Luge Athlete and Olympian"
