Review:

The text introduces football related vocabulary like receiver, quarterback, possessions, and end zone for very young sports enthusiasts... will likely appeal to young nonfiction readers and sports fans who aren t ready for the typical fact-filled football books for older readers... The diversity present in the fans and on the football team is an accurate reflection of real sports and makes this a welcome addition to other fall picture books. --School Library Journal

Much is evident from the small details: the family s love for one another, the good sportsmanship on display on the field and the boy s passion for football... this is worth a look. --Kirkus Reviews
