What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, celebratory look at a sporting event. The physical nature of football is presented within the context of the sport's rules and is not depicted in a graphic or worrisome way.
Ideal Reader
An 8 to 11-year-old who is a developing football fan. This child watches games but wants to understand the 'why' behind the spectacle. They enjoy collecting facts and trivia and would be motivated to read by a high-interest topic like sports. It's also an excellent choice for a reluctant reader who is passionate about football.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be handed to a child to read independently. A parent might enhance the experience by being ready to look up video clips of the historic moments mentioned in the book, but it is not necessary for comprehension. A parent hears their child asking questions during a game like, 'Who was the first team to win?', 'Why do they get a trophy?', or 'Is this the biggest game ever?' The parent is looking for a book that can answer these questions and encourage reading.
