This is a silly story about what happens when a dad joins the team, and then pretends to be the most spoiled, rude, selfish player of all.

At first the son can't figure out why the dad is being such a brat, then he takes it upon himself to "set his dad striaght" so to speak. And the son has to teach his father to be a good sport, and how to play well. It is a cute way to show kids how they look when they are acting out.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

The Day My Dad Joined the Soccer Team is a hilarious misadventure of a father who hears his child's coach as for a parent volunteer, and immediately jumps into the match (turned out they just needed someone to help with refreshments). His child is mortified as his father continues interrupting the game with chants, getting distracted by a nearby slide, and throwing a fit when the other team scores a goal. It has a great message for overbearing parents who try to take over their child's sports games, while still being highly entertaining for everyone.

This book was a riot! Parents, teachers, and students alike will laugh at the ridiculous behavior of the father and appreciate the wisdom of his son.

I loved that this book addressed bullying and bad behavior with a humorous bent. I think this book would be ideal for teachers and librarians as a teaching book. I plan on purchasing this for my library.

When a dad learns that his son's soccer team needs help, he is all in...but maybe not in a good way. This book does a great job showing different ways of how to be a team player (and what not to do). It also highlights how you can deal with someone who maybe is a bit too competitive. Finally, I love Mike Lowery's comics and he does a good job illustrating this book with playful, colorful illustrations.

Thank you to netgalley for giving me a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

This book was excellent and shows children exactly what being good sport is and playing in a team. I loved the angle that they used the dad to show this - it is a very good touch - 5 stars from me!

This book was equal parts funny and ironic to me. The pictures will make you laugh out loud as "dad" becomes a terrible teammate acting like an ill-behaved child in general. The irony for me comes in because just as many parents are poorly behaved at children's sports games as the children themselves. I enjoyed the book reinforcing the "rules" of play and good sportsmanship. It's a nice reminder for young and old alike. If you want a laugh that is rooted in truth and can handle a book that partly calls parents and children alike on the carpet, this title is for you.

Every parent of a little kids in sports should be given this book and it be mandatory reading. It’s about a dad that is so into his kids soccer game that he joins in, and not always for fun. He has to learn good sideline behavior, team spirit, and graciousness. I see this missing at so many kids sporting events, that this book is needed.
