Customer Reviews

A great way to show kids that even heros have fears & faults

Forever Young is a great book for kids of all ages. It was a wonderful way to show my son that his hero grew up the same way as every other kid he knows. From the stories about the fights with his brother to telling about his childhood fear of sleep-overs, Mr. Young shows kids that its okay to have fears and faults. The great thing about this book is that it shows kids that, even though Steve Young is a great quarterback, he makes mistakes and wasn't always the best athlete there ever was. It's nice to see a sports figure be humble about his success.

A great gift for kids

Greg Brown has created a wonderful series of books with various athletes. It is not the athletes on the cover that make these books attractive to me, but the lessons on sportsmanship and responsibility. Our grandson wants to read them because of the athlete on the cover, and since his Dad is a big sports fan, too, he enjoys reading them to him. I highly recommend these books.

An excellent gift for young football fans.

Steve Young offers football fans an interesting and informative look at his career in the sport. The text is an exceptionally accurate reflection of Young's personality: honest, determined, and good-humored. He shares stories about the challenges he faced in a frank, introspective manner. This is a perfect gift for any young sports fan-- sure to be read again and again.
