This review is from: Kicking & Screaming: My Dad, the Coach (Kicking and Screaming Festival Readers) (Paperback)
The book begins with Sam's grandfather trading him from the first place Gladiators soccer team to the worst team in the league, the Tigers. Team doesn't have a coach. So Sam's dad steps into the coaching role and recruits two talented players who lead the team to its first win. Soon, Dad becomes all about winning just like his father, Sam's grandfather.
The story is similar to THE COMEBACK KIDS except it focuses on Dad's coaching and his growing desire to win while sacrificing teamwork. The book won't be a classic. It's awkward as the author has the challenge of translating the movie into books for easy readers. It teaches about competition, good sportsmanship and teamwork. The book targets kids ages four through eight, uses color photos from the movie and readable text for emerging readers. |
