(3) K-3 On the night before Lena's first soccer game, her dad tells a bedtime story about his own childhood team, the Atomic Pickles, and their self-appointed mascot--his own mother. Humorous illustrations track the soccer mom's metamorphosis from quiet spectator to giant cheerleading pickle, and in an amusing conclusion, Lena's family arrives at her game all decked out to cheer on her team, the Galactic Grapes.
