OUR THOUGHTS!
Our Daughter; Giana has been playing soccer for a few years! She also loves to read books, practically devouring them. Needless to say, she really gets into these books!! What could be more perfect than a book about soccer? Since she is younger though (almost 7) it does take her a bit longer to read it than it would an older child. I would say this book is appropriate for an athletic child, aged 8-11, boy or girl, who is passionate about reading.

We never read the 1st book in the series, as they started us on the second. I hope they are chronological, as I am sure they probably are. Giana was excited to get this book in the mail though. Promptly flopped down on her bed to read it too!

ReplyDeleteAccommodate you soccer striker! The previous exercise can be done with a goal and goalkeeper to practice dribbling and striking. That makes you a good striker.
