Recommended bedtime reading

My 4 and 6 year olds love football and they get a bedtime story every night. Can't get better than this! We have animals saying funny things, there's some learning about football for the kids, and there were no injuries. I think the duck has a "take the ball and go home" moment, but what do you expect when you play football with a duck? Fun book that I've read several times to the kids, upon request.

He likes it!

My 8 year old nephew started playing football this year in our local Mighty Mite division and he had a great time. I always like to get him a book as part of his present for gift-giving occasions, so looking for something football related for his birthday was a no-brainer.:) This book was perfect for him. He is able to read it himself (though we enjoy taking turns reading it together). He likes the animal characters and enjoys following the events of the story.

Great easy to read football book!!!

I came across an old copy of this book at a thrift shop. After reading this book to my 4 year old son it became a favorite of his. A strange object falls into the middle of the woods where a group of animals inspect it and wonder what it is. Soon a boy comes to get it and takes it back to the football feild. The animals follow and watch from a distance as the boys play football. Then the animals have an a brilliant idea to play their own game of football. What will they use for a the ball? This is a great book for 2 to 6 year olds and any child learning to read.

Special

This was one of the first books I ever read by myself, and I frequently used to go look for it in the library to re-read it. One of the more endearing books in my memory.

An excellent book for little football fans

Both of our sons love sports. And both have loved this book. It's simple, easy to understand and easy to enjoy. I, and my boys, like it because the stars are the animals, and the little boys that play football. The pictures are simple and descriptive enough to convey the message and the story moves along quickly enough to keep short attention spans occupied. We've read Kick pass and Run hundreds of times in the last 4 years, and now that we own a copy of it ourselves, we'll probably read it twice as often.
