Kick It, Mo! by Sam Ricks, David A. Adler

3.0

This is a cute book. Mo Jackson is playing soccer for the Billy Goats, but he's not particularly good. He practices on his furniture (ouch) and with his family, but he has trouble keeping the ball on the ground. When the Billy Goats play the Pups, Adler captures how exhausting it is playing soccer (so much running) and how boring/low-scoring it can be (a one-zero game). The illustrations are really cute and I will definitely recommend this to emerging readers.
