Bookroo's summary

Biggie Bear, a jazz-loving recluse, is recruited by the town's soccer team in desperate need of a player. Despite his size, Biggie learns that soccer requires more than just being big. As he stumbles through the game, will he find his own way to contribute? This humorous tale explores the unexpected rewards of embracing one's unique abilities and the true spirit of teamwork. Can Biggie and his unlucky team turn their fortunes around?

From the publisher

When the Mighty Giants soccer team needs a last-minute substitute player, they ask a very large bear named Biggie, but they soon learn that being big and being good at soccer are not the same thing.
