A soccer dad misunderstands when he hears that his son's team needs his help. Instead of taking care of halftime snacks, the dad grabs a jersey and runs onto the field to play! And what an embarrassment he is: he hogs the ball, complains about his teammates and throws a hairy fit when the referee doesn't call a play his way! Can the boy find a way to teach his dad how to be a good sport before he drives the whole team crazy?
Maureen Fergus, a Blue Spruce Award winner, has the perfect touch in crafting comic role-reversal stories. The boy gets to prove he knows more than his father --- always a hit --- but the two maintain a close and loving relationship throughout. The simple lines of Mike Lowery's art reflect the story's offbeat premise and child's point of view. With hilarious lessons on being a good sport, following the rules and having patience with others, this picture book could spark conversations about self-awareness and managing relationships. It also works for character education lessons on empathy, compassion and perseverance, and is a terrific resource for coaches of all kinds.

Title: Fun time had by dad
Review: This is a silly story about what happens when a dad joins the team, and then pretends to be the most spoiled, rude, selfish player of all.At first the son can't figure out why the dad is being such a brat, then he takes it upon himself to "set his dad striaght" so to speak. And the son has to teach his father to be a good sport, and how to play well. It is a cute way to show kids how they look when they are acting out.Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Review: We originally received a shortened smaller copy of this book as part of a McDonaldâs Happy Meal. Our son was hooked. Happy we were able to find the bigger version for him.
