Lesa Cline-Ransome and James E. Ransome's YOUNG PELE: SOCCER'S FIRST STAR tells of a poor Brazilian boy who kicks rocks down roads and dribbles balls made from rags - and who goes on to become the greatest soccer player of all time. His skills and the evolution of his talents make for engrossing reading for kids in grades 2-4.
This book is an investment in beauty. The pictures in it are just gorgeous. It was a Christmas gift for a friend's son for Christmas, and both she and I were just wowed by the beautiful paintings. It's heavier on beauty than on content, but it's in its own cataory. Lovely. I would hope that this thin volumn is one any child would save as a momento.
I love this book! My 4 year old son is a fan of Pele and while he cannot read this on his own, we enjoyed reading this book together from start to finish. I was also impressed by the illustrations. Very nicely done.
good book. Too challenging for my 2nd grader to read himself but I read it to I'm and he loved it
Great book!
