It is desirable to motivate children to play sports. In addition to the fact that playing sports is fun, it is also very healthy, especially in today's world when more and more children are confined to their homes and spend time on cell phones. Just Love Tennis 4 Kids by Rachelle Lifpitz is a children's coloring book and a short tennis manual that aims to make the process of learning to play tennis easier for children, parents, and coaches.

This manual is divided into several chapters that provide guidance on how to play tennis. The guidelines are very detailed, and some procedures are even explained step by step. The author explains what equipment is needed for playing tennis, what sizes of courts there are, and what is appropriate for children and beginners. Likewise, the book explains the rules of play as well as different methods, exercises, and games that can help master certain tennis techniques and improve the game itself. In addition, the book also features two main characters, Addi and Netty, who, through the story, help the reader master and figure out the rules of tennis.

First of all, I'm glad there are sports manuals like this, which are primarily intended for children and amateurs. I think such manuals can help understand certain peculiarities and details of a particular sport and explain certain elements that may have been unclear before. What I especially like about this book is its very informative nature. It seems to me that every possible detail has been explained and that the author has given some tricks and tips that would make tennis even more appealing to children. I appreciate that the book has a separate story that follows two children who are also starting to learn to play tennis. Many children will be able to identify with Addi and Netty, considering they are in the same situation. I think that Addi and Netty's successes will further encourage them to practice tennis as much as possible. Of course, considering this manual is also a coloring book, I have to praise the author for that interactive element, which is always an added plus in children's books.

As for the negative elements, I must emphasize that I encountered many errors in the text. The book needs quality editing. Also, I do not like the layout of the book. Some pages are full of text compared to others, which does not look visually pleasing. Likewise, I believe the balance of illustrations and text could have been better.

All things considered, I give this book 3 out of 5 stars. The reasons for this rating mainly refer to the lack of quality editing and poor visual organization of the text. I would recommend this book to children who are starting to play tennis and all other beginners.

It is good to see sports manual books especially for kids, it'll motivate them to learn sports and guide them in the learning process. I hope the author edits the book professionally so that readers don't loose interest. Your review was insightful, thank you.

Like you, I think providing this in coloring book form, will motivate children. This is a way to show them the rules and give them a way to become more active.
