This is the first chapter book for kids by Tiki and Ronde Barber. I started getting Tiki and Ronde's fine picture books for my son because he saw Tiki and Ronde speaking about it on MNF. They are quality stories with excellent messages for kids. Tiki and Ronde are role models that a parent can embrace for their character, which is something I am always struggling with when I find sports related books for my son.

My seven year old son found this at our school book fair last week. He finished it within days - he couldn't put it down! This year he has developed a strong interest in football - interested in watching the games, learning the game, etc. This book was a hit with my son. I came to Amazon to look for other books that people were buying along with it to get some ideas for my son. I'm thrilled to learn that there are more books in the series. I am buying more for my son for Christmas. I love the positive messages that Tiki and Ronde are getting across in the books. I highly recommend this book for any boy interested in football.

I bought this book for my Third Grade son last week at his book fair. He will finish it today! I have never seen him read a book so quickly or be so enthusiastic. We were thrilled to find today that there is also a new book out and can't wait to buy that one too. This book is definitely a hit at our house!

My son loves football but the story seemed slow to him when he was reading it. He definitely loves football and this was good for him. Especially since he needs to read more. It is not hard to get him to play football but it is to read. This makes it easier for him to read more.

My grandson is not really a child who enjoys reading, however, after seeing Tiki Barber and his brothers interview on the Today show I immediately purchsed this book. Now I am not going to tell you he now reads everything but it did spark an interest, he completed the book and has asked for other's in the series. The challenge here was finding something which caught his interest, as with any child, find something they like and they'll ask for more.

i thought this was a pre reader book, bought for my 5 yr old, i must not have read the description very well.

KICKOFF
Would you like to read an action filled football book then you should read kickoff. There are two authors of this book their twin brothers that play football in the NFL. There names are Ronde and Tiki Barber. This book has 176 pages and there is excitement on each page.
Kickoff is a thrilling action book. It starts off when two identical brothers go to seventh grade. And tryout for the football team. They both make the football team. But one problem their third string, not starters. The head coach Spanky can't tell the brothers apart so he just calls them Barber. One of their best friends Paco said that the second day of school was beat the seventh graders day where the eight and ninth graders beat the seventh graders. And on the end of the second day of school they forgot about beat the seventh graders day and later on that day they remembered and found out that it was a lie.
My favorite part of the book is when Ronde gets a pic6. A pic6 is when a player on the defense makes an interception and run the ball back for a touchdown. It's my favorite part because it's so descriptive then after he scores it says that the extra point was good now the score is 7-6 Eagles. Ronde won the game for the Eagles. Tiki won the the second game for the Eagles 14-12.
The most important thing that I learned from kickoff is that never stop trying to achieve your goal and speak up for what you think is right.
The other books by these authors are Go Long, Wild Card and Red Zone. I never read a book like kickoff so I guess it's a one of a kind book.
I recommend this book to anybody that can read or people who LOVE the game of football. This book is defiantly a five star book.

Don't walk run to your nearest book store to get Kickoff! This book is 153 pages of football and the author's name is Paul Mantell
In this book the barber brothers Tiki and Ronde are in 6th grade and they want to be on a foot ball team and they make the team butt they're 3rd string players .But they are really good football players .The barber brothers learn not to go too far with the ball and lose the ball. They practice and it all works out at the end. Because they got to play in the games all the time.
My favorite part is when tiki and ronde barber go to school in 6th grade. It is my favorite because they get made fun of because they were wearing funny cloth.
The most important thing I have learned is not to give up and keep trying.
Some of other books the author has written are GO LONG! X-men, winner take all and, hostage heart and.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes sports and action.
I give this book 5stars
