GYMMY THE OWL AND HIS FRIENDS
A delight for all lovers of rhymed poetry and gymnastics, Gymmy the Owl and His Friends offers children and parents entertaining and amusing poems and useful information about gymnastics and gymnastics terminology.
Author Vladimir Zaglada, who worked at the highest levels of Soviet gymnastics during its heyday, created Gymmy and his friends as a way of introducing young children and their parents to the world of gymnastics. Readers of any age will be drawn in by his parallels between the natural abilities of animals and the skills humans must work hard to develop in order to perform gymnastics ….
Illustrator Katya Korobkina brings to life a charming community of “Nature’s Gymnasts.”

We’re often asking kids to land softly. Absorbing the impact force like a cat.
The science is fascinating.
Cats can famously fall from skyscrapers and only suffer the most minor of bruises, including the recent story of a cat surviving a 19-story fall in Boston with only a bruised chest. What’s the secret of this feline survival? …

“open” gymnastics
I love “open gym” time. It’s fascinating to see what kids want to do when they are free in our giant playgrounds.
