Reviews

Grade 1-3?Freddy is competitive, combative, and often ends up fighting when he plays touch football. An understanding principal sets realistic rules about fighting and helps Freddy and his friend Mark select even teams while Freddy's teammates help him use his anger to his advantage?by running fast. Newly independent readers will see themselves and their friends on this playground. The realistic watercolor and pen illustrations add visual breaks to the comparatively lengthy text. Football Friends will be particularly popular where football reins supreme.?Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

Gr. 1^-2. The liberal use of quotes and sentences that are a bit more complicated than those in basic readers mark this book in the Hello Reader! graduated series. There are also plenty of pictures to enliven the story, which has an appealing sports backdrop as well as a valuable message that's perfect for the age group. Freddy and Mark are friends until it comes to choosing teams and playing football. Then Freddy loses his temper and lashes out with fists and feet. His teacher calms things down, but it's really words of wisdom from his classmates that best help Freddy deal with his angry feelings. Stephanie Zvirin
