* "Full-color photos and lively text introduce a sport that
combines dance, music, and acrobatics with fighting techniques.
Action-packed pictures of capoeiristas - people who play capoeira -
in both the United States and Brazil make this an eye-catching
title. . . .An excellent purchase for libraries that serve
Brazilian populations or communities in which martial arts are
popular." -- School Library Journal, starred review * "For
martial-arts fans, armchair travelers and anyone who wants to view
a new way of having fun." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "[A]
rarely covered subject of growing interest to many kids." --

opponents play without hurting each other, is sure to appeal to
active elementary school children . . . Recommended." --
