Book Reviews of America's Champion Swimmer: Gertrude Ederle
Book Review: Beautifully written, wonderful illustrations
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my niece, a 7-year-old swimmer, along with a fun swim cap. The illustrations are beautiful-- stylized to fit the time period and reminiscent of the Triplets of Belleville. My niece was so excited that there had been a real swimmer that beat the boys. Adler stays true to history and tells a good story. I would recommend it!
Summary of America's Champion Swimmer: Gertrude Ederle
Trudy Ederle loved to swim, and she was determined to be the best. At seventeen Trudy won three medals at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. But what she planned to do next had never been done by a woman: She would swim across the English Channel in fourteen hours and set a world record.
