(3) 4-6 Kickers series. Illustrated by Jimmy Holder. Ben is bummed when cocky Mark joins his soccer team. Though Ben criticizes Mark for hogging the ball, Ben himself has much to learn about teamwork. Lively banter among nine-year-olds and soccer fundamentals from Coach Patty, along with “Ben’s Top Tips for Soccer Players,” make this easy-to-read sports novel both believable and instructive. Lively gray-scale pictures illustrate events.
