Critics Review

A fantastic book for the football crazy readers in our school library! Full of facts and interesting information. – Reader Review * Toppsta *
I love this book. So many facts about football. It is very interesting. I would recommend this book to all football lovers. – 12-year-old Reviewer * Toppsta *
This is such a great book for any football fanatic. My nephew keeps this beside his bed and reads a fact every night before bed then discusses with his dad. It helps settle down for the night. The book has bright illustrations and is engaging for the children. Highly recommend this book. Put on your Xmas lists. – Reader Review * Toppsta *
Lovely book full of fun facts about football great for young readers as the pages are clear and easy to read. – Reader Review * Toppsta *
I think it is a really fun book because it mixes football with lots of surprising facts. Some of the facts are really funny, like how animals play football, and some are amazing, like records about the fastest goals. I liked that you can just read one fact each day and still learn something new. The pictures are silly and make it even more enjoyable. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes football or just wants to learn cool facts. I give it 5 stars because it made me laugh and taught me things I didn’t know. – School Reading Group Review * Toppsta *
