Review by Horn Book Review

In the standard DK format lavished with large photographs of the authors as well as child players, the Williams sisters narrate, smile, and smash the ball gracefully to demonstrate tennis clothes, equipment, shots, rules, stretches, and strategy. This is a thorough and accessible introduction for beginners. Directory. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
