- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Wanted to like it, but it just seemed disjointed at times. Flipping from this to that and just couldn't really figure out why we needed to know about things like a pit bull chasing them or playing hide and seek in the house. Don't think we will bother with it since there aren't any gymnasts around the school--but it could have been worse.
