About
the Book
Karate class begins and students come together to
practice their blocks and stances—from crescent kicks to front kicks to
tuck roll stands. Dynamic black-and-white artwork of children bowing, kicking,
and sailing through the air contrasts with their brilliantly colored karate
belts in this rhythmic read-aloud that explores the action and philosophy of
karate.
CAROL NEVIUS is a social studies and language arts teacher. She
was inspired to write
Karate
Hour,
her first children’s book, when her youngest child
started taking karate lessons. She lives in Coral Springs, Florida.
Two

Exhibition. An assistant professor of illustration at the University of
Hartford, he lives in Southington, Connecticut.
