This book teaches the value of teamwork and the results that can come from it. Great for all kids, not just Husky fans.

Editorial Review:

It’s the University of Washington Huskies versus the Washington State Cougars in the biggest game of the year! With time running out, the Huskies need a touchdown to win. Can Little Husky score on the game’s final play to beat the Cougs and capture the Apple Cup crown for the Purple and Gold?

Little Husky’s Big Game is one in a series of Big Game board books that showcase the greatest rivalries in college football. It’s a must read for every Husky fan under the age of four.

Excellent summary of #7's NFL life and career 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book is a great read for Bronco and Elway fans of any age. It chronicles the life of John Elway from the time he was a child, through college and his joining of the Broncos, to his victory against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. Black and white pictures are included with each chapter, and the center section 14 pages of color photos, as well. The author (Clay Lattimer) is a sports writer for the Rocky Mountain News, and he also draws on Sports Illustrated, Becket Football Monthly, and even Newsweek, as well as several other sports sources, so he packs a lot of information, dates, and statistics into each chapter. He also packs a lot of superfluous detail, too -- the writing meanders a bit and doesn't always stay on focus. But hey -- if you're an Elway fan (like me), who cares? The book is fun to read even in the places where it goes off topic. If there was such a thing as a "definitive" biography of an Elway, this would probably be it. If you're an Elway fan, get this book and enjoy it!

Editorial Review:

This is the first book on one of sport's greatest stars, a portrait of a man who has dedicated his life to becoming the greatest quarterback ever. It's the story of John Wayne in Cleats, a father of four who led his team to Super Bowl glory at age 37.

Delightful introduction to numbers and football 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book is delightful. My husband and daughter love to read it over and over. The colorful pictures and cute content are appropriate for kids and enjoyed by the adults who read them.

If your child loves football 5 out of 5 stars.

If your child loves football this is the counting book for you! My family loves football. My two year old son memorized this book very quickly. It has everything from real NFL stars in uniform to footballs, referees, cheerleaders, trophies. Any football book had my son's complete attention. My son now easily counts to 12 at 2 yrs old. I believe it is because we found books like this: colorful realistic pictures full of subject matter he was already totally into.I also recommend NFL Opposites another board book made by the same people and I'm waiting for NFL Colors and NFL Touch and Feel to come out in print soon.

Editorial Review:

NFL stars past, present, and (maybe) future help children learn to count in NFL 1-2-3. One football (an official Wilson), two trophies (the Vince Lombardi and the Pete Rozelle), and three passers (Warren Moon, Doug Flutie, and Jeff George) take young sports fans all the way up the middle to ten runners. The sturdy board-book format ensures that kids will have plenty of time to fall in love with football--which is, of course, the idea. (Baby to preschool) --Sunny Delaney
