Children's Corner: A Hockey Story

Review: As we continue with my son's obsession with anything sports related, we found out that the author of A Baseball Story had another book called A Hockey Story. Our library didn't carry it but they were able to borrow it from another library. I can't tell you how excited he was when the library called us to come and get it.

 A Hockey Story is a wonderful book about how much hard work it is to play hockey. It goes into what you need to just get onto the ice in the form of equipment. It doesn't really explain the game in this book but it does stress the importance of teamwork. The illustrations are nicely done and flow well with the story.

It's a great introduction to a sport that can be wildly expensive and exciting.
