Fall Ball by Peter McCarty

3.0

I read "Fall Ball" to two 2nd-grade classes and they loved it!! Of course, it was in Wisconsin the day after a big Packer/Viking game on TV, but what the kids really loved were the silly pictures of the kids, the funny dog, the tackling and crashing into the leaves, and just the idea of playing neighborhood games with friends. I agree with the other reviewers that there is no compelling story, and it really isn't a book about football. It is much more of an atmosphere book, and that age range seemed to get it. Younger kids might not...I'm not sure.
