out of 7

4.5

This is a cute book about a soccer team. They play together to win a city cup. It teaches about some rules of soccer in a fun way for children who may not know much or for those little soccer players that need a reminder that hands are not allowed. Froggy is a fun character to follow who learns quickly that he needs to pay attention and be a team player.
