Entertaining text and dynamic illustrations introduce readers to various sporting events and animal species.

Fun summaries describe the unique skills each creature would bring to the sports and invite readers to predict who will win the gold, silver, and bronze medals. This whimsical yet fact-filled book teaches children about the attributes of various animal species and encourages them to apply critical thinking to choose possible winners.

“Clifford’s illustrations are as riveting as the competitions themselves: he depicts a host of arctic and antarctic creatures in fine, naturalistic detail but places them in action poses, sporting athletic gear and game faces.” —Booklist (U.S.)
