5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book!, January 19, 1999

By A Customer

No book covers the game of hockey as clearly and entertainingly. The book is organized in question and answer format which makes it easy to understand and to quickly reference any fact "on the fly". Kids' Book of Hockey is definitely not just for kids - I've been a hockey fan for over 10 years and am amazed at how much this book has taught me. Thanks to this book, I now (finally) know everything that's going on when I watch a game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too wordy!, March 24, 2004

By A Customer

The average kid is not going to enjoy this book. Too many long, wordy chapters, too few diagrams and pictures. I was very disappointed in this book.
