The Greatest Game Ever Played: A Football Story

40 pp. | Putnam | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-399-24171-X $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Zachary Pullen. A young football fan and his father watch the exciting 1958 NFL championship game between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts. Their team--the Giants--loses, but the pair, mildly caricatured in the art, marvel over the talents of rival quarterback Johnny Unitas. Football fans will be drawn in by the fast pace of the game's narration.
