Customer Reviews

great book for beginning readers

I got this book along with several other step-4 books for my 6 year old son. He really enjoyed them especially since they seemed relevant to his life. He plays soccer and enjoyed reading the books and looking at the pictures. These books are well structured and provide kids with engaging stories at a level that pushes them to learn new words while also learning about social situations. I highly recommend these books to any beginning reader.

A great book that anyone to enjoy

I first read this book, when I was in the second grade. I was having trouble reading. I loved this book so much that I read over and over and eventually I became a strong reader. This is a great book that anyone who likes soccer will love. I am now in the sixth grade, love reading, and this is still one of my favorites. My favorite part of the book has always been when the second graders scrimmage the third graders. If you would like to find out who won, you should read this superlative book, Soccer Sam.
