For the Love of Soccer! by Pelé, illustrated by Frank Morrison Grades 3-7 4432 pages Hyperion May 2010 Hardcover     Capitalizing on the name of Brazilian soccer legend Pele, this picture book explains why the former international star loves the game so much. He began playing in his teens and was a member of a squad that won the World Cup three times. The illustrations rather than the text are the strength of this book. Frank Morrison’s vibrant action pictures featuring children playing the game are what will capture and hold a young reader’s attention. Would I purchase this book? Probably not, unless I was getting it for a child who really loves soccer.     web reviews   Bob Walch/2010 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
