5.0 out of 5 stars Made my son a reader!!, November 3, 2005

By	M. Connelly "bookie" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Usually it's a struggle to get my 10 year old son to read. He could not put this book down and has spent the last few days reading it aloud to me and citing different stories. Now he wants me to look for similar books. A success!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good,, July 26, 2006

By	Eoin "A-Ron" (Hurricane, WV USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a very interesting and funny bunch of sports stories. There is a story about a animal running onto a college football game and scoring a winning touchdown! There's a story about a guy who ran through a plywood wall to get a baseball! There are a great amount of stories sure to crack you up! My only problem is that they don't have any stories about soccer. If you like sports, you should definitely buy this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars a good read-one time through, April 10, 2007

By	Poetry Reader "Brad" (Madison, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews

Don't get me wrong, theres some hillarious stuff in here, but not enough of that sort of thing to balance out the far less interesting anecdotes. Books feels padded, though a pretty good bathroom book.
