didn't read the whole discription

I hoped this would be an aphabet book, but was too old for my grandson

Hockey Lovers will love it!

We are a hockey family, so we've enjoyed this book since the little guy was a year old. There are in-depth hockey descriptions or short. Now he's 2 and can say many of the short phrases. He loves this book!

Z for Zamboni receives and A+ from us!

My 4 year old "hockey-nut" son absolutely adores this book. It makes bedtime easier because he knows we get to read this book. As a first grade teacher, I applaude the way that the authors have also made this a "teaching" book. My son is now recognizing the alphabet as we read the book. I plan on buying several more and giving it as a gift! A++++++

Hockey Book is Full of Hockey

I was absolutely first-line, rookie-of-the-year impressed by "Z is for Zamboni." I don't think there could have been much more crease-crashing, glove-wearing, hockey-spelling hockey in this book. Everyone I've shown it to has been impressed both by the amount of hockey in the book, and also by the fact that all 26 some-odd letters have a rhyme specifically written for them, relating to the "old stick and puck." I would recommend this book to anyone interested in hockey, or the alphabet.

Great Book!

This book is great--with lots of info for all ages. My 2 year-old just received it as a gift and loves it. My husband and I are just as interested as he is!
