Review Quotes

This series spends time shedding light on all the people who make our favorite games possible from behind the scenes. In "Homers and Hot Dogs," readers learn that it's not just the trainers and coaches, but the grounds crew, concessions workers, and even the fans who make game day come alive. "Strikers and Scarves" has a good deal of focus on groundskeepers, security personnel, and stadium technicians, as well as broadcasters and referees. This emphasis on the periphery of the athletic spectacle shows readers both the importance of community and the multiple career opportunities in the sport. "Touchdowns and Tailgates" still has a fair amount of description of various football positions, which is unfortunate, but readers won't be phased. The descriptive, straightforward writing flows naturally and its readability will likely lead the young audience to seek out other titles in the series. VERDICT -Recommended for all libraries.--Abby Bussen, Waukesha Public Library, WI "School Library Journal"
