Let's Play Football!
In this fast-paced picturebook, readers are urged to put on their boots and get ready for the pitch as they are invited along to take part in a match alongside a fantastically illustrated football team.
The book blends fun reading with interactive movement to truly bring to life what it means to be a part of a team. Chacko’s illustrations allow for all types of people to be seen which really shows that ‘the beautiful game’ is for all of us. Chacko brings life to the game from the moment the whistle blows: his ability to showcase the movement of the ball as well as the players allows for the story to find its footing and march towards the finish line. D’Arcy and Howard show all facets of the game, from having us stretch pre-game to holding up the winning trophy in such a way that the book physically becomes the trophy that we lift, a wonderful and clever use of the physical medium of picturebooks.
This book is fun, playful and full of life, ideal for any energetic and sporty kids in your life. The fast-paced nature of the book not only allows for multiple attentive read-throughs but with the right reader this book can go from a story to a core memory of triumph that any future athlete will adore.
