Stupendous Sports
3 primary works
Book 1
Rampaging Rugby is the first in the Stupendous Sports series, which aims to do for sport what Horrible Histories did for Year 6 history with Mr Simkin! Full of cartoons, player tips your coach won't tell you, irreverent explanations, fascinating facts and plenty of practical instruction. With a foreword and pro tips by former All Black Conrad Smith, Rampaging Rugby promotes an understanding and a love of the game for boy and girls, which is as much about the spirit as the rules.
Book 2
Fantastic Football is the second book in the Stupendous Sports series which aims to do for PE what Horrible Histories did for Year 7 history. Full of cartoons, jokes, fun facts and useful stats, it gives a brief history of football, details of player positions, the future of the game, the importance of diversity, the forthcoming Football World Cup, the rise of women's football, plus a great section on skills and tricks.
Brilliantly illustrated by Matt Cherry, this is for fans of the beautiful game, their parents (and grandparents), but firstly for young readers who want something entertaining to dip into and, like the game itself, to share with friends.

Book 3
Originally a way for bored shepherds to pass the time, via a first international in New York in 1844, to an estimated 60 million players worldwide today - it’s no surprise that cricket is the second most popular sport in the world.
