Edelman, Julian Flying
High 2, illustrated by David Leonard.

Jules is a
squirrel who likes to play football. He
works hard, practices, eats right and goes to bed on time to try and be ready
for the big football game against the Falcons.
When Jules and his team play the Falcons they struggle in the first
half, but after a pep talk by the coach they start to believe in themselves and
work hard to win.
The first page of this
story says, “This is a true story”, and the back cover explains that Julian
Edelman is a professional football player.
For fans of football and sports, this is a simplified version of what it
takes to win. The illustrations are cute,
but it might be confusing that this is a true story when all the characters are
animals. Also, I'm not sure what the 2 means in the title.
EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C.
