Klappentext A collection of poems about soccer covers the equipment, the joy of playing the game, and how to never lose another game. Zusammenfassung Hurray for soccer! Anyone / at all / at all / can learn to kick a ball / a ball. A kangaroo could do it, / too, / a bigger kick than me or you but never put one / in a game ’cuz they can kick but / they / can't / aim!

Wonderfully ridiculous and genuinely funny artwork complements the bouncy poems.
