(4) 1-3 Animal All-Stars series. Illustrated by Josh Alves. In these brief chapter books, Bobby Longbeak, a turkey who's the leading wide receiver for his football team, learns to tame his wild streak (Wild Receiver); and hedgehog Spikelle Jordan, the best "pointy" guard on her basketball team, learns to share the ball (Ball Hog). Pedestrian writing and obvious messaging mar the stories, but kids might enjoy the general goofiness and the ample cartoonlike illustrations. Review covers these Animal All-Stars titles: Ball Hog and Wild Receiver.
