Praise for “Wrestling The ABCs”

I wholeheartedly recommend this book and the sport of wrestling to parents.  As children’s health becomes an increasing concern, wrestling provides an opportunity to become physically fit while developing strength, coordination, and balance.  In addition, wrestling is surprising free of the significant joint and ligament injuries which are so common in other contact sports.  In a well supervised environment, wrestling can benefit the physical development of any boy or girl.

Wrestling The ABCs, the sport of wrestling puts its best foot forward for our up-and-coming young wrestlers.  As the parent of a youngster, I so appreciate Tom and Veronica Davids putting the time and effort into promoting wrestling and reading to kids in a manner that shows off our sport.  Every wrestling parent or grandparent should get this book.

This book introduces children to a sport that builds character and discipline.  Readers will form an understanding of what it takes to become a wrestler and motivate them to try the sport.

This is a great book that gives children interesting information on the sport of wrestling.  Both girls and boys will enjoy the rhymes and will want to learn more about the sport.  We need more titles like this in our libraries.

This book serves many purposes for all ages.  Its scope is unlimited.  For me, I could use this book when getting my children ready for bed-baby in one arm, book in the other.  It is a book that your family can grow with while celebrating the sport of wrestling.

Wow!  What a great book.  Whether your kids read it on their own, or you read it with them, it’s a great way to introduce them to wrestling and how much fun it can be.  The rhymes, illustrations, and useful information make Wrestling The ABCs a great addition to any library.

Book Foreword by Dan Gable

There is no better way to promote and spark an interest in the sport of wrestling than to put the essential information about the sport into a book.  I hope that parents and grandparents use this book to pass on their wrestling passion to their kids and grandkids.  Wrestling the ABCs stands behind my version of the “Rs” of education: 

1) reading

2. 2)(w)riting
   

3. 3)(a)rithmetic
   

4. 4)(w)restling!
   

I’m happy to have two of them, reading and wrestling, in the same book.  Lots of fun!!
