Summary
My 13 year old niece and i reviewed Running is Totally for Me by Cassie Celestain. The character finds different activities and tries them out. She likes it but not something she wants to do forever. We think it is better for younger kids who enjoy the rhyming and repetitive nature of the phrases. It contains realistic images and can tell they are hand drawn.
Since I am a runner, I found the book to be adorable.
