Good for kids or even adults JUST learning about football. Just a refresher for the rest of us, but still a good book.

This is a non-fiction book with some great photos and facts about hockey. The My Favorite Sport Series is geared to young children (4 to 8) so they can learn about various sports, this one being football. It is simple with just enough information that it will not overwhelm them. It gives basic rules, equipment and skills. We were watching football when my grandson started asking questions so I read him this book. He was interested in the simple text and the great photographs. I think this is a great book and series for a school library. Of course, once again this is American football, Canadian has a few different rules and facts, but that didn't matter as we often watch American Football. There are many young children who do not want to read fiction and this series would definitely give them something to read as they are developing their skills. I am looking forward to seeing more sports featured in this series. The publisher, Xist Publishing, generously provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

Like all books in this series, it’s photos rather than drawings, along with some simple words for the kids, that show what this truly American sport is all about. The information is simplistic, as expected. As an introduction, it would be good for kids, and possibly for those unfamiliar with the game.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

Cute informative read about football with great pictures! Our family does not watch football so my young kids learned a lot as we read this together. Great little book!
