If your child LOVES hockey - they will enjoy this book. Very easy to read (I suggest for kids 7 and under), with great artwork/pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding Children's Book, February 17, 2006

By	Laura Miller (St. Paul, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased this book and I absolutely love it. It caught my eye with the striking illustration of the young boy's face on the cover. Throughout the book, the author takes you on an adventure thru the dreams of a young boy. Working at a daycare, this book is a favorite and always requested. I would definitely recommend this book to enhance your children's dreams and imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hockey Star Book for Young Ones, March 12, 2006

By	J. Rose "Miss Spendsalot" (Fairfield County, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fantastic book for the younger hockey fan. My son eats, sleeps and breathes hockey and wanted a hockey book that he could read himself. Most beginning reader hockey books are "childish" in nature (ex. Franklin the turtle, Arthur from PBS) and he wanted one that was really about non-fiction hockey, but for his reading level. This book is just perfect for that! Great story, inspiring for little hockey stars in the making.
