  Gr 3-5-"When a player fails, it's just one moment and one loss in a long career." This quote from Great Sports Fails best encompasses the uplifting tone of this series. These unique books repackage failure from something kids fear into an unavoidable part of life that can lead to eventual success. Fascinating examples include the original use of bubble wrap (textured wallpaper), the first synthetic dye, and unbelievable sports losses. Exciting pictures of football games, early airplanes, and mammoth bridges accompany the text. A glossary, resources, and an index are included. VERDICT This series will lift the spirits of any child worried about their own failures.
