Football basics for the littlest fans. Each football-shaped page presents American football-related photos and one to two sentences of descriptive text. Many of the images are heavily labeled and captioned with football terminology, such as "end zone," "helmet," "cleats," and "penalty flag." One of the few double-page spreads presents a bird's-eye view of the football field and labels such elements as "pylons," "50-yard line," and "1-yard hash marks." It's anyone's guess what toddlers will make of the play diagram crowded with X's, O's, and arrows. In the photos, almost all the players, who have skin tones that range from white to black, look to be male. Just enough of the basic moves and plays of football are presented for youngsters, such as passing, catching, and kicking. As the book is football-shaped with faux leather cover and imitation laces, little ones may try to throw or kick the book itself. The project ends by encouraging would-be players to have fun and go play. A passable introduction for little linebackers and half-pint halfbacks, but it will probably please football-enthusiast caregivers more than it will their children. (Board book. 2-3)
