Publisher Description
This hilarious, tongue-in-cheek guide from kid-expert Max reveals everything you need to know about the game of soccer.
Max knows a lot about soccer. After all, he's been playing it for almost three weeks! So he's pretty much an expert. Here Max shares his one-of-a-kind helpful tips including how to warm up (stretch, twirl, somersault), who's who on the field (the ref is in yellow and wears a whistle--you should not bring your own whistle), and what to do with your hands since you can't touch the ball (wave at fans, hide them in your shirt, play itsy-bitsy spider). But could Max possibly be forgetting something very important? Full of humor, energy, and warmth, Max Explains Everything: Soccer Expert is the perfect read aloud for novice players as well as for fellow "kid experts" on the game.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In his second story (following Max Explains Everything: Grocery Store Expert), Max a boy with hair like brown yarn thinks he's a soccer aficionado. Readers will observe that Max actually prefers finding insects and four-leaf clovers in the field over playing the game. But Max's disinterest is no big deal; at the sidelines, the kind, gray-haired coach offers him an orange wedge and the "thousands of fans" (really only a handful) watch from the sidelines. A moment arrives for Max to show he's got skills after all but, refreshingly, he's more interested in the promise of after-game snacks than in making the goal. Max is a relatable hero for readers who like being on the field but whose minds might not be entirely in the game. Ages 4 8.
