Phelps is an excellent role model and a real American hero!

This book is great! My son is a huge fan of Michael Phelps, and this is a wonderful book that explains how hard Phelps had to work to win 8 gold metals. This book does a fantastic job of presenting math and numbers to kids. Phelps presents the information in a fun and informative way, ensuring kids can relate to the facts, and can see real world applications for math. My son and I met Phelps during his book signing tour back in December, ("No Limits: The Will to Succeed") and the way Phelps treated my son and all the other kids proved that he is an excellent role model and a real American hero. I am pleased that he wrote this children's book, giving fans of all ages the chance to appreciate what a superstar he truly is.
