Sports have origins in all kinds of activities, such as playing with sticks and stones, running from threats, and taking part in religious ceremonies. Skiing may have started when people strapped big bones to their feet to help them walk in the snow. Bowling was a way to "strike out" sins. Using conjecture and historical facts, this book of poetry and prose relates how nineteen sports got their start and grew into the games we know today. Author's note. Anecdotes. Time line. Full-color watercolor-over-ink illustrations.
