Description

Next up in the fan-favorite Rookie Book series, Sports Illustrated Kids explains the coolest game in the world to its youngest fans.

The puck drops, skates flash, and sticks fly-a hockey game is underway! With a fun mix of Sports Illustrated action photography, simple text, a full glossary of terms, and cool graphics, My First Book of Hockey introduces readers to the basics. Kids (and maybe a few adults, too!) will learn how power plays work, how the three-period game flows, what a hat trick is, what's up with the referee's crease, and more.

An illustrated "rookie" character appears on every page, guiding the reader moment by moment, and helping to make My First Book of Hockey an ideal shared reading experience between parents and their young rookies before, during, and after the game.

Critical Reviews

"A colorful and lively overview of hockey. Highly recommended." - School Library Journal "Kids who already love hockey will eat this up, but its stealth audience may be the clueless kid whose BFF is a rabid fan." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A must-have, friendly introduction to the sport...a great series for burgeoning sports fans big or small." - Mom Read It "Hockey may be the least understood of the four major North American sports and therefore the most in need of a primer for newbie fans. My First Book of Hockey will shoot and score for them." - NC Teacher Stuff "An easy to read and easy to understand lighthearted look at the game of hockey."- Mrs. Mommy Booknerd "A great way to introduce hockey to little readers and possibly get them interested in a new sport!"- Outnumbered 3 to 1 "It's funny, makes a great read aloud!"- Batch of Books "Sports Illustrated Kids does an impressive job of explaining the game for even the youngest player to understand."- Sincerely Stacie "A must read for all young fans...they'll love how fun this book is!" - Christy's Cozy Corners "A great series for little players. Highly recommended." - Jean Little Library
