Footballers
Tracey Turner
- Reading
- Try choosing a line-up together, then let your child lead the challenge. Ask them to explain their choices, while treating different opinions as part of the game rather than a definitive ranking.
- Themes
- Ranking footballers: Readers are encouraged to choose an Ultimate 20 from a line-up of named footballers and challenge one another. The format invites comparison, but the book’s criteria for choosing the “best-of-the-best” are not described.
- Worth knowing
- The “best-of-the-best” framing makes selection and comparison central. If your child is sensitive to competitive play, it may be worth noticing how they respond to the challenge format.
