Fall Ball by Peter McCarty

Hi guys!
Welcome back to the place that puts the FUN in FALL reading…Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers!

Today, I’m excited to share a recent storybook release from the great folks over at Henry Holt and Company, an imprint of MacMillan Children’s Publishing Group.  It’s the PERFECT fit for the season filled with chilly winds, swirling leaves, the first falls of snow…and the inclusion of a particular latter season sport that is sure to entice “Monday Night” fans of all ages.  Grab your pads and sport your favorite colors, it’s time for today’s book of choice…

This is an adorably sweet and fun addition to any fall reading lineup for book lover's, autumnal addicts, and football fans alike!  From the illustrations to the blustery day shared with friends, the ball stealing dog to the desire for good times to never end, it’s a smile a page and a TOUCHDOWN overall for all ages.  If you can't get behind the simplicity of the story, you can surely be down with the quirky yet detailed artistic renderings.  I mean, come on....just look at them!  Don't Bobby and his friends look like a swell bunch?  I know I'd like to step into the pages and have a ball with them (pun TOTALLY intended) in their fall-to-winter wonderland....and I think you will too.

So if you're ready to celebrate the fun that is fall, if you love good times with friends, or if you're simply ready for some football, this is one storybook you should tuck and run with.  Oh...and if I got any of my football terms or references wrong, forgive me, k?  (^_^)  

ARC for review courtesy of Ksenia at MacMillan Children’s Publishing Group.  (THANKS!)  For more information about this title as well as their complete catalog of works, be sure to stop by their official website, like them on Facebook, or follow along on Twitter.  This title is available now from Henry Holt and Company, so be on the lookout for it on a bookstore shelf near you.

Until next time…happy reading!
