Ice Dancing

First problem: the graphics are too over-the-top splashy, so that they become a distraction from the information, rather than an enhancement.  Second problem:  though the title of the book is, “Ice Dancing,” and the first page defines ice dancing, explaining what distinguishes it from other styles of figure skating, much of the content is actually dedicated to other types of figure skating.  Third problem: for a $20.00 book, it’s not going to have a long shelf-life, as the celebrities described inside are names not likely to be ones kids recognize in a few years (if they know them now).  It was nice to finally get some descriptions of the different jumps.
