My first grader and I read this together for our September parent child book club meeting at the library. He was pretty excited because it seemed like it was going to be silly and had a dog in it - and technically it was both of those things. It was overly simple and I don’t think it made the moral point of the book quite clear enough, while at the same time alluding to relatively complex football lineups and plays that didn’t particularly make sense to either my son or I. Anyhow, we read it together in about 25 minutes or less and are ready for book club tomorrow.
