The Ultimate Soccer Encyclopedia

Children's Literature - Children's Literature

Got a soccer nut in the family? The Ultimate Soccer Encyclopedia is required reading. It's written as an alphabetized dictionary of the sport, explaining terminology, top players and famous teams, and is also stuffed with fun facts, trivia, maps and photos. This would be a good bet for a reluctant reader who happens to love soccer--just be prepared to listen to the kid's excited recitation of facts about the game, literally from A to Z. 1999, Lowell House, Ages 8 to 12, $9.95.
