Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-What shines through in both of these books is Gibbons's dedication to presenting the games as fun. Each volume outlines all of the necessary equipment and rules and describes a fictitious game to demonstrate the facts. The illustrations, especially those of the players, clearly reflect the action. Both entries have a glossary with key terms, including important concepts such as teamwork and sportsmanship. Excellent choices for beginner players and readers.

Reviewed with Gibbons' My Basketball Book.
Ages 5-7. Gibbons introduces the basics of basketball and football in two small-format paperback books. Each book identifies the equipment, the court or field, the positions of the players, and a few rules of the game. In the brightly colored artwork, young players, both boys and girls, illustrate this introductory information, then begin a game that adds a touch of narrative and allows for explanation without the tedium of listing one rule after another. Bas ketball begins "Basketball is fun, whether you are playing yourself or rooting for your favorite team." A similar sentence leads off in Football , and that low-key message is at the heart of both presentations. The books don't cover all the rules; indeed, for kids who are intently interested, they will raise as many questions as they answer. Instead, they offer a starting point for young children trying to figure out what's going on in the sport or how to get in the game. Carolyn Phelan

My Football Book, Mar 2 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Football Book (Hardcover)
I ordered this book for a man and his son that are from Indonesia. They were very interested in how the game of American football is played. i ordered this particular book, thinking that it would be easy to understand with the pictures and the simple instructions and rules of the game in English. (They are learning English too). It certainly was the right choice for them. They could understand what they were reading and now they understand American football much better!!

Great Baby Shower Gift, July 26 2007
By Marilyn R. Bejma - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Football Book (Hardcover)
Our daughter does not want to know the sex of her baby before it's born, so my husband and I gave definitely different shower gifts to her, including books instead of greeting cards. I gave Knitting Nell and my husband chose My Football Book. Both books were purchased through Amazon, and they came quickly and in excellent condition. They were perfect, and "even a girl" can learn to play football from My Football Book (when she/he's not knitting).
