Madlenka Soccer Star

Madlenka Soccer Star

by Peter Sís

Summary: Madlenka plays soccer in her city neighborhood--with the mailbox, a dog, a parking meter, and some cats.

This story is mediocre, but may be of interest to young soccer players and fans. What I like most about the book is the notes in the back which give a history of soccer.

Soccer Hour

Soccer Hour

by Carol Nevius

Summary: Pictures and rhyming text describe the drills and scrimmages of a team at soccer practice.

This is a spectacular read for soccer lovers! I feel it is most appropriate to read to a child one-on-one or as a quick fun read for older children.
