The sounds of autumn include the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot and the thump of the kickoff starting the first home football game. Sleeping Bear Press is proud to continue our best-selling sports series with “T is for Touchdown: A Football Alphabet.” Sports writer Brad Herzog’s easy-to-read-aloud rhymes engage even the youngest of readers, while hardcore fans can devour the detailed expository that covers the sport of the pigskin, from A-Z and end zone to end zone. Plays and players are just a few of the topics covered.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5 - This is much more than an alphabet book for beginning readers. It is a picture book with large, richly colored, realistic oil paintings, and many facts about football, including some history, rules, well-known players, and famous moments. Each pair of upper- and lower-case letters is represented by one or more terms or people ("N," for instance, is for Notre Dame, the NFL, and Nicknames) and a four-line rhyming verse. "No college team has ever had/as much success and fame/as football's famous fighting N - /noble Notre Dame." Although the text is a bit dense at times, this is an informative look at the game for independent readers. - Kate Kohlbeck, Randall School, Waukesha, WI

Football Nonfiction Aphabet,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: T is for Touchdown: A Football Alphabet (Alphabet Books) (Paperback)
These series of books I think do such a good job of encompassing many ages. It has the simple alphabet for the younger reader,however; it also has factual information for the much older child in which he learns the actual history of the sport as well as information about the sport. The pictures are always well done in this series. This can be enjoyed by many ages from 1st graders to 5th graders.
