Summary
"Leather stitched together,
the brown ball is our B.
A perfectly thrown spiral
is quite a thing to see."
Sports writer Brad Herzog's easy-to-read-aloud rhymes engage even the youngest of readers, while hardcore fans can devour the detailed expository that covers the sport of the pigskin, from A-Z and end zone to end zone. Plays and players are just a few of the topics covered.
