From the Publisher

PreS-Gr 1—A group of diverse children are playing soccer but exclude May, until a boy includes her in the game. As the kids pass the soccer ball, defend, and score goals, one player realizes the importance of team play. This Spanish version of Score One More provides a great jumping-off point to address teamwork for young children. Janovitz offers a straightforward plot built on one- and two-line sentences, set in a medium black font. Although the Spanish text will help emergent readers with simple vocabulary, the syntax lacks the natural flow of a well-defined sentence structure. Pastel yellows and sky blues have a strong presence on the pages; full-spread illustrations on a white or light green background provides a fresh springtime ambiance that correlates with the soccer scene of the plot. The artwork moves organically, following a logical sequence that relates to the story and expresses the text's meaning. This early reader book may be read during a school story time highlighting the value of collaborative play. VERDICT With a teamwork theme that emphasizes playing nicely with all friends, this early reader will resonate with young children who are experiencing cooperative and social play at school.—Kathia Ibacache
