When two friends see a poster for a summer soccer team sign up they are instantly excited, but when they realize that whomever makes the tee shirt design for the team gets to be team captain they are both really excited. There's only one problem. One can't draw, but he would make an excellent team leader. The other one can draw, but has no interest in being team captain. Only turning the pages will allow you to find out which friend, Dewey or Bundy, gets to be the winner of the contest!

This is a great book to get kids thinking about what their talents are and what they would do in Dewey and Bundy's situation. This is a great series of books for early readers. My seven year old is the one who picked out this book for us to read and can't wait for the next book in the series that we chose to read. Definitely a fun read!

Summary
Stookie Norris's older brother, Greg, makes a soccer hat trick and gets his picture in the paper. This prompts Stookie to try to score all during his next game by hogging the ball. He plays out of position, fails to work with the team, wears himself out, and gets chewed out by the coach.
