Meet the Green Bay Packers

October 1, 2016
Grades K-3 From the Big Picture Sports series, this colorful volume portrays the Green Bay Packers as a winning team in every way. Burgess takes a quick look at the team's proud history, famous stadium, and outstanding players, as well as their current uniforms and loyal fans. Midway through the book are two playful double-page features, a spot-the-differences photo quiz and a brief true-or-false quiz. The well-chosen illustrations include many photos of players (past and present), a picture of Lambeau Field during a game, a shot of cheeseheads in the stands, and digital U.S. and world maps indicating the team's hometown and several players' birth places. Clearly written and well designed to introduce primary-grade sports fans to the team, this attractive volume may also appeal somewhat to older kids.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
