Teammates

Barber, Tiki, and Barber, Ronde. Teammates. Illustrated by Barry Root. Simon and Schuster Publisher: 2006. Ages 6 to 10.


My story was about when Tiki fumbled a ball in a crushal game. They lost so he and Ronde practiced holding on to the ball and they ended up beating their teams arch rival. The art in this book went along with the book because the illustrator made the background look dusty or faded. Most of the story was on a football field and most football fields are dusty. I thought that Teammates was a good book. Also, I do recommend it to other kids who are interested in football or like playing it.
