Synopsis

Sally's dad would really like Sally to play football and join a club and luckily she agrees. But before she can count to one, dad catches the football fever. He buys a crazy amount of gear, cheers much louder than all the other parents and he butts in on the trainer's tactics. It turns out that Sally is pretty good at football, even if her dad is much more invested in it than herself. In fact, Dad becomes so over-eager that he ends up messing everything up for both Sally and himself.

Reviews

"We didn't have any doubts about this series. We knew right away that it would be perfect for the Polish market, though we didn't expect such great success. We have trouble seeing the series as picture books, not because of the amount of text, but the format and the target reader, because it's directed at a double reader: at kids that are a bit older than the usual picture book readers and at their parents (as in the case of Shrek). I'm not sure who has more fun reading these books: parents or children?" – Katarzyna Biegańska (Polish editor at Dwukropek)
