Jürgen Klopp

I have a mini Liverpool fan so I had to give this a go! This is our second book in this series & we have loved both of them. We loved learning about Jurgens past & how he became a coach. We admired his dedication & love of the sport. The illustrations were beautiful & the addition of the photos & mini bio at the end are a fantastic touch.

I knew absolutely nothing about Jürgen Klopp, so literally every bit of information I just read was all new to me.
All explained in very simple and easy to understand terms, which I am sure any young football fan will love

I absolutely love this book! My kids were soccer players, now my granddaughter has started playing. This is going to be such a fun book to read with her. I learned a lot about Jurgen from this book. But even more important, this book has wonderful lessons about leadership and being a team a player, whether you're referring to sports or life in general.

This is an outstanding biography series geared for young children. After watching Ted Lasso on AppleTV, I was interested in learning more about a football coach. Of course, in the United States, we call it soccer. It’s good to read about another country’s sports and this inspiring German coach.

A inspirational story of sticking with what you want even when it doesn’t go your way. Klopp has been an inspiration to football fans around the world and always cares about doing the right thing. From charitable endeavours to team building, reading Klopp’s story is inspiring. This book isn’t just for Liverpool fans, it’s for anyone with a dream who’ll stop at nothing until they achieve it- even if they sacrifice some of that dream along the way.

Essential reading for little Liverpool fans!

There's lots of love for LFC players, but I love this unique look at head coach Jurgen Klopp. He's my favourite LFC coach to date and always acts with integrity. I love that this book uses the same language you'd hear on UK TV such as football and saked. The real-life photos of Klopp at the end of the book are a fun bonus, although I wish there was one of him as a child.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto for this advanced reader copy.

I love this series of books! This one is especially inspiring for kids because it shows them that not everyone can be good at everything, but we are all meant for something! And some are meant to coach. Perfect inspiration for young kids

I am german, so when I stumbled upon a children’s book about one of my favorite soccer managers since childhood, I got not only curious but excited. Jürgen Klopp has always been a very inspiring figure in the german, now international soccer world, and that is wonderfully reflected in this book! It is a little glimpse into his life, how he grew up to become the man he is today, and I feel like reading this to your children could open up wonderful discussions about what finding your passion and success can look like. The drawings are a beautiful addition to the story.

I feel like this won’t be the last „Little People, Big Dreams“ book I‘ll read in my lifetime!

Thank you Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

As a huge fan of the Liverpool Football Club and of the "Little People, Big Dreams" books, I was very excited to read this book with my family. This is a great biographical story about Jürgen Klopp that is easy for children to understand. Klopp's inspiring story is interesting and informative for children and adults alike. The illustrations are fun and unique, and I enjoyed the extra facts about the great football manager at the end of the book, which included a biographical timeline, photos, and a detailed profile. There were also some additional resources on the last page if you want to learn more. We will definitely be buying a finished copy when this book is published!

Jurgen Klopp is an inspiring addition to the Little People Big Dreams collection.
His story will appeal to all who read it, particularly those football-mad children. The books are easy to understand, the illustrations are bright and colourful and enhance the words on the pages too.
I like the timeline at the back of these books as it adds to the story and gives you a little bit more insight into the subject of the book.

Jurgen loved footie but came to realize that his best asset to the game was as coach.
"By working as a team and helping one another, anything is possible"
Because "there is something even better than scoring the final goal. It is being the person who inspires everyone to do better as a team."
After he attended special classes he grew to become a highly regarded FIFA coach.
The illustrations by Beatriz Castro are fun, simple, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!

My kids love the Little People, Big Dreams books for the very simple and approachable way they highlight notable public figures, and Jürgen Klopp is a fantastic new addition. Klopp is a celebrated and well-loved soccer coach who has led teams in Germany and England to unprecedented victories. The book also highlights his philanthropic efforts, reminding us that "shared success is the sweetest of all." This book can be really inspiring for many kids, and I highly recommend it, along with many others from the Little People, Big Dreams series!

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley for gifting my family with an ARC to review. We loved it!

This empowering biography series for children (4-7 years) brings another incredible figure of Jurgen Klopp who is an inspirational football manager.

Jurgen grew up in a small German village where he loved practicing football. He joined the local club and early on showed signs of a natural leader. At University, he learned what he needed to become a coach. Thanks to him, the team he coached moved up in ranking. Soon, every club in Europe wanted him as a leader.

He had some failures from which he learned and remained positive. He inspired his players to do better and to stay positive. He remained humble and very likeable.

From this biography children can learn how important it is to remain positive even if you don’t win. There is a lesson to be learned from each failure, and above all the positive mind set is important. Jurgen also shows that success is much more rewarding when you share it with others in any possible way.

With simple sentences, and colorful and fun illustrations, this book is perfect for children to grasp the context and the message.

As a very big BVB and Liverpool family, I just had to read this book! It was so well done, and the illustrations are absolute perfection. This was a book the whole family will enjoy, definitely ordering a copy after its release.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this advanced review copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review on the book!

I really liked this book and the art.

Very interesting, have a house full of liverpool supporters so enjoyed finding out more. Excellent continuation of series

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was such a cute biography of Jurgen Klopp. I don't know much about European Football and their coaches, but this made it easy to follow and kids can learn about how he got into the sport.

This is a lovely little book about the formative years of the Liverpool Football Club manager, Jurgen Klopp. It is part of the series aimed at very young children Little People, Big Dreams and tells of Klopp's interests and ambitions and how he achieved his goals.

The book is illustrated in colour by Beatriz Castro, and shows Klopp as a child but still wearing his famous cap and glasses - rather quirky but very endearing as well. The images show Klopp with his family and playing football, studying and eventually managing football clubs.

​The text is suitable for reading aloud and perhaps for older children to read by themselves. The significant feature here is not just the telling of Klopp's early life but how his dedication and commitment worked for him, while the emphasis is on his team spirit. At the back of the book there is a timeline to mark Klopp's achievements.

​Informative, enjoyable and a great introduction to biography and inspiring famous people. As an adult, it is safe to say that I love this book too

Another inspiring story from the Little People Big Dreams series. I love how this one focuses on a coach, instead of a player, and how it was okay to love something and not be the best at it, but to turn that love into encouraging others to be their best. I hadn’t heard of Jürgen before, and now I’m inspired to learn more about him.

Jürgen Klopp is a name to bring a smile to any Liverpool fan, myself included. His leadership, recruitment, and successful reign have made him one of the all time greats at Anfield. This short, beautifully illustrated book covers his life and career so far with just enough information for a young football fanatic.

It shows how, although a professional footballer for a short period, Klopp was destined to be a coach from a young age. His personality shines through on each page and, apart from the German names, which they might need help with, this book would be ideal for someone beginning to gain confidence in their reading ability.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Frances Lincoln Children's Books, but the opinions expressed are my own. This is a quick informative read which any young Liverpool fan will enjoy along with quite a few not so young ones!

Often I know the little person who is portrayed in these titles but I was not familiar with Jurgen Klopp. I was pleased to learn more about this football loving German boy who grew up to be a fantastic coach and manager in his sport. He also sounded like a positive and encouraging person. His story is nicely told and illustrated here.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

I am a huge LFC fan and a massive fan of Jurgen Klopp, so whilst this is a book written for kids, I still derived much pleasure from reading it. Lovely book. Would definitely recommend.

Little People, Big Dreams hits another book out of the park. Not being a futbol fan, I have never heard of Jurgen Klopp, but this book is the perfect biography to learn about him. The pictures match the story wonderfully. This book is great for all ages.

My sons are Liverpool fans so how could I not choose to read this with them!
Their excitement at picking up this familiar series with a familiar name themed was the perfect enticement to sit down and read. The book opened up further topics of conversation and interest in who else may be featured
As always the illustrations are great, although I’m not sure the front image is recognisable to Juergen Klopp for me

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review
