Moving from jobs (Clothesline Clue to Jobs People Do, 2012) to sports, Helig, Hembrook, and Davies keep children guessing. "High on the clotheslines / the clues swing and sway. / Who uses these things / for the sports that they play?" Seven clotheslines hold clothing and sometimes equipment (not all of which is typically washed), with more underneath the line or propped against the uprights. Pinstriped pants and shirt, a cap, and a glove hang above a bat, bases, and a ball. Readers guess and then turn the page for the reveal: "He plays baseball." (Boston fans beware: the pinstripes are paired with red socks.) With a nod to diversity, the men fence and play baseball and football. Women play soccer, tennis, and basketball and do archery. An inquisitive (and sometimes mischievous) squirrel appears on every clothesline page, and the reveals always show a glimpse of the school bus from the title page. It all comes full circle at the end when the children try out these sports during Sports Day at school. The rhythms and rhymes are solid, and the verses nicely incorporate the vocabulary for the equipment and clothing used. Skin tones are a mix of peach and browns, but all the people are able-bodied. Too, the women tend to pair up with girls and the men with boys. A nifty, participatory way to introduce sports to young children.

PreS-Gr 2-Much like this duo's popular Clothesline Clues for Jobs People Do (Charlesbridge, 2012), this title presents illustrations of clothing and accessories paired with rhyming text that allow readers to guess which sport will be revealed on the next page. Sports such fencing and archery are shown side by side with baseball, soccer, and football. Just as in Jobs, gender equality is the rule of the game, with equal numbers of men and women, boys and girls. Some examples lend themselves better to the clothesline treatment than others: a jersey, matching shorts, shoes, and a basketball are easy to guess. However, the tennis clothesline holds only a headband and shoes. Nevertheless, kids will love guessing the sports and finding the repeated images on each page. A school bus runs through each spread, and the final pages depict a party with adult athletes and kids playing together. Children are invited to picture themselves participating: "The clothes hold clues to sports people play./What sport would you like to try out today." VERDICT Sure to please in sports-themed storytimes, especially during the Olympics.-Jennifer Wolf, Beaverton City Library, OR
