(4) K-3 Bobby and friends gather for a game of after-school football--all except Jimmy, who wants to rake "all these leaves." When dog Sparky intercepts a pass, the leaves, kids, and dog all end up in a glorious pileup. For such a boisterous sport, this game seems remarkably gentle, which might disappoint some. McCarty's softly colored and delicately rendered illustrations convey a quiet autumnal mood.
