Olympics books for preschoolers
The Frog Olympics by Brian Moses, illustrated by Amy Husband
Hachette describes frogs from around the world coming together for their own “Frog Olympics.” Its rhyming text is presented as suitable for reading aloud, and the story can open a conversation about the Olympics and inclusion. It is a playful choice for young listeners, with the distinction that the competitors are frogs rather than human athletes. Hachette lists a paperback edition, ISBN 9780750296830, on sale April 28, 2016. See Hachette’s listing for The Frog Olympics.
Ready Steady Mo! by Mo Farah and Kes Gray, illustrated by Marta Kissi
Listed by Hachette for children from about age three, this rhyming picture book follows running-themed adventures featuring Olympic athlete Mo Farah. The publisher describes it as a book to share and read aloud. Choose it when your child is drawn to running or to Farah; it is not a guide to the Olympic Games themselves. The paperback listing gives ISBN 9781444934076 and an on-sale date of July 26, 2016. See Hachette’s listing for Ready Steady Mo!.
Olympics stories for older kids
Olympig! by Victoria Jamieson
Boomer the pig enters the Animal Olympics and keeps trying after repeatedly losing. Penguin Random House lists the 40-page paperback for ages 5–8 and grades K–3; its publication date is July 5, 2016. The book works as a funny, encouraging story about how a character handles setbacks—not as a factual account of Olympic events. See Penguin Random House’s Olympig! listing.
#1 Best Overall
Puckster Goes to the Olympics by Lorna Schultz Nicholson, illustrated by Kelly Findley
This 24-page story, listed for ages 4–8, sends Puckster to the Sochi Winter Games after he is selected as Team Canada’s stick boy. Its hockey focus makes it a more specific choice than a general Olympics introduction, particularly for a child interested in the Winter Games. Penguin Random House lists the book as published October 22, 2013. See Penguin Random House’s Puckster Goes to the Olympics listing.

These recommendations are storybooks with different Olympic connections: a make-believe competition, a runner’s adventures, an animal contest, and a hockey story set around the Winter Games. The publisher descriptions and age listings do not establish any of them as a comprehensive history of the Olympic movement. Scholastic’s broader Olympics book list includes school-age titles such as Wilma Unlimited, but the listed details do not establish it as a toddler picture-book pick.
