"How to Train with a T. Rex and Win 8 Gold Medals"
By Michael Phelps with Alan Abrahamson. Illustrated by Ward Jenkins. (Simon & Schuster, ages 4-8)
Phelps' workouts for the 2008 Olympics get put into context for kids. He trained for six years (or 42 dog years), swam 60,000 meters a week (183,040 trips around the bases on a baseball field) and his legs were strong enough to press nine tons in one workout (the weight of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and 10 velociraptors).
