This is a book that my 5 year old son and I both love and we revisit it over and over again. I usually let him choose the 2 books I'll read before bed and this book is chosen many times. The story is engaging for him and me, the illustrations have a surreal quality that make you feel like you've been there. There is even the lesson about working hard, teamwork, and not underestimating anyone. A great childs book that adults can enjoy also.

This was a really good book. I liked the characters.
I really wish they lived in my neighbourhood. I would
join them at the outdoor rink near my house. I'm not
not sure I would be able to keep up with Marcel though, and
Danny seems pretty hard to score on, but I would try.
The pictures in the book are very nice. They make
you imagine what the players were going through.
This is an exciting book.
I can't wait until The Final Game is published.

This follow-up to "The Moccassin Goalie" is awonderful story about growing up, loving hockey, teamwork, and gettingalong. This story takes Danny, the moccassin goalie, from where we left off in the original story, through the championship game. The illustrations are dreamlike and evoke memories of growing up and skating outdoors. The story teaches kids to work together, try hard to overcome handicaps, and to cherish the times you have together. My five year old son chooses this book on many, many story times. I don't mind at all. It's just as enjoyable with repeated readings. END
