Mark Stewart has written more than fifty books on football players, football teams, and football history. During the 1990s he worked with some of the athletes featured in this book on their authorized biographies--including John Elway, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, and Dan Marino.
Mike Kennedy has been writing about football for more than two decades. As co-creator of JockBio.com, Mike has profiled many of the NFL's top stars, including Eli Manning, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Hall of Famer Lynn Swann. He has also served as correspondent reporting on several Super Bowls. Mike played football growing up in New Jersey and later was a wide receiver at Franklin & Marshall College.
Grade 3–8—Touchdown offers a conversational and engaging history of football, along with details on 10 of the touchdowns that the authors feel are among the greatest of all time. Other chapters include brief biographies of players who have brought their own unique twist to the touchdown and a few memorable bloopers. There are plenty of action shots and posed football-card shots of the players of yesterday and today. Whether readers are Monday-morning quarterbacks or have just started following the game, this title offers something for everyone. Similar in scope to John Madden's Heroes of Football (2006), the book is nicely organized. The blend of history, trivia, and statistics is ideal for browsing, and readers who want to learn more can refer to the appended list of print and electronic resources. With its eye-catching cover, this volume won't spend much time on the shelves.—Kim Dare, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA
