excerpt:
Part of a series of high-appeal, high-graphics books about sports, How Football Works is chuck-full of psychological insights, training secrets, historical tidbits, and technical details about a sport that non-fans can often find confusing. Written in a colloquial, tabloid-inspired style, the intricacy of the subject matter nonetheless given all due respect, the book was surprisingly addictive and not the least bit dull. The graphic design and illustrations are top-notch, with many historical photos, excellent diagrams, and cute mockups of kids of all ages, genders, and races in football uniform.
Highly Recommended. Todd Kyle is the CEO of the Newmarket Public Library in Ontario and has served on the jury of a number of children's literature awards.
