5.0 out of 5 stars Troy Aikman, January 11, 2001

A Kid's Review

I thought this book was worth reading. This book is about a guy that plays football for the Dallas Cowboys. This book is about his whole life,from when he was a little kid and until now. I would recommend this book for others to read because you can relate his life to your life. I liked it and i hope you will read it and like it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great gift for kids, April 13, 1999

By A Customer

Greg Brown has started a wonderful series, I've bought several for our grandson, who definitely needs to learn to be a better sport!! It isn't just the specific athlete, but the lessons they teach in these books, that make them attractive to me. But it is the athlete on the cover that makes the boy want to read them. Also, these books are something that "Dad", a sports fan, actually enjoys reading to son. I highly recommend any book in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Advice for All, March 11, 1998

By A Customer

I think this is a great book for all to read. It is an especially good book for all children that look up to Mr. Aikman.

By recounting events in his childhood, he teaches us all that, no matter what obstacles are put in our path, we can achieve greatness. Not by becoming famous; but, by becoming a great human being.

This book also shows adults how, by taking and active role in the lives of our children, we can greatly influence the kind of human being they will one day become.
