Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3-Heads up, readers! Preston's got the ball and his aim is right on target. While en route to the grocery to get bread for his mother, the young pig plays out a glorious soccer game with himself as star. Oblivious to the world around him, he is completely involved in his play. However, when his skillful maneuvers and accurate hits find unsuspected targets, the blame is put on a hungry wolf who has been following the pig with an eye on dinner. Even in the store, which Preston nearly demolishes with his "GOAL" antics, Mr. Wolf is once more the loser. McNaughton uses a light palette and easy lines that work well in a story remindful of the shenanigans and fast pace of Saturday morning cartoons. This chuckle-filled comedy with a twist at the end is sure to score points with young sports fans.

From Booklist

Ages 3^-8. In the fourth adventure of bold and brash Preston, the intrepid pig takes his soccer ball when he's sent to get a loaf of bread. A most brilliant player, Preston scores one goal after another, totally oblivious of anyone or anything, including his nemesis, the wolf. As Preston dribbles along his merry way, destroying a flower garden here, knocking a bully down there, and sending the supermarket displays flying, the wolf takes the heat. Steamed at being a furry fall guy, the wolf pounces on the pig and the loaf, and in a double-page spread, he's seen smacking his lupine lips. Could this be the end of Preston Pig? Get this winning book, with enough slapstick fun for every young soccer fan, and find out. Shelley Townsend-Hudson

5.0 out of 5 stars Preston's Goal, Dec 20 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Preston's Goal!: A Preston Pig Story (Hardcover)
Preston is a star soccer player and scores all of the goals. When he was going home from the store the wolf tried to eat him. Good adventure book with color illustrations, and reminded me of a version of the 3 Little Pigs. Reviewed by one of the the 6th graders.
