The Day Dad Joined My Soccer Team

32 pp. | Kids Can | April, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-77138-654-8 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lowery. "Soccer was a ball-kicking, leg-pumping, heart-thumping good time" until a boy's father joins his team. Dad--pictured in the childlike digital illustrations in a belly-button-revealing jersey--whines about his assigned position, acts silly on the sidelines, etc. This latest parent/child switcheroo, from the team behind The Day My Mom Came to Kindergarten, is quite humorous, though readers will quickly get the drawn-out didactic point.
