What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a straightforward, positive, and informational text focused entirely on the logistics and excitement of a professional sporting event.
Ideal Reader
This book is perfect for a 6 to 9-year-old who is obsessed with football, either as a player or a fan. It's especially suited for an inquisitive child who enjoys 'how things work' books and wants to know the details behind the spectacle. It's also an excellent choice for a reluctant reader who is passionate about sports.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book can be read cold. Parents should be prepared for the book to spark even more questions about sports, jobs, and large-scale events. The vocabulary is specific but well-supported by context and visuals. A child asks, "What do the players do before the game?" or "Who are all those people on the sidelines?" The trigger is a child's curiosity extending beyond the basic rules of the game to the complex world surrounding it.
