Game Day

by Tiki Barber

Book Overview

Ronde and Tiki are a team. They are twins, they are each other's best friends and biggest fans, and they play on the same football team in this picture book based on a true story.

Tiki has had seven long touch-down runs this season, and Ronde is proud of his brother, but he can't help feeling a little down when Tiki gets all the glory. If Ronde hadn't been leading the way with his blocks, Tiki wouldn't have been clear to score...

Game Day

My kids (boy 4, Girls 2 and 7 months) absolutely love this book. They can't stop saying that Tiki and Ronde are their friends. The book is a great read and allows you to animate your voice to get the kids into the character's roles. I recommend this book for young and old.

Get It!

Game Day

My son was very happy with this book.........took him all of 15 minutes to read the whole thing......great book!!

Highly Recommended - They did it again!

I ran out and bought this book for my 7 year old son after getting their first book- By My Brother's Side. This book is equally engaging and oh so sweet as it deals with the theme of teamwork. Young Ronde feels overlooked as the defensive powerhouse who enables Tiki to go for long runs and make all the touchdowns. Ronde finally gets a chance to be in the spotlight with the help of his coach and his mother when he gets to run the ball in for a touchdown. This book points out that we all have our roles to play in life and we don't always get recognized. Yet, that is no excuse for us to pity ourselves, and we should still 'Play Proud' as Mrs. Barber always told her sons. I hope they write more books like this.

Good story about family ;-)

What a really cute book. I got this for my little nephew who loves it. The pictures are lovely and so well done, and the story is real. It is about family and being there for each other. Of course there is the sport which will keep all kids entertained. It's a great effort from a (cute) very talented Giant of the game. Especially good for little boys, they will want you to read this over and over.
