Goodnight Football is a perfect bedtime read for football fanatics (parent or child!). The illustrations are bright and cheery and the text is short and sweet. The book provides an opportunity to explain the basics of the sport to a young child, with clear illustrations to aid their understanding.

Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley. ( )

Follow a family attending a game and the “Goodnights” that result afterward including the cheerleaders and coaches. Finally, a sleepy boy snuggles up with his ball and it’s “Goodnight Football “ to all!

Goodnight Football is about a boys experience at a football game.

This book would be good when talking to younger kids about sights and smells. The book elaborates the different actions he sees and the smells of the football game. ( )

This bedtime story will bring back sweet memories of football season. Told in rhyme, it follows a little boy as he attends a Friday night game with his family. From concessions, to the players, to the roar of the crowd, you'll remember why we love this game so much, and the satisfaction we feel as our team wins and we head home to snuggle into bed. This is a great book for the young football fans in your life.

This book is adorable and I will be passing it on to family to read with their young ones. It follows a family as they attend a football game and all the wonders that are there. The colors and pictures are bold and bright to hold the attention of youngsters and the story is cute as it follows the kids leaving the stadium saying goodnight to all of the wonderful things that make up football. Lastly, the story rhymes, making it fun and easy to read aloud.

Being a book for ages 4-8 there isn't much more that I can say about it, but I do believe that your young reader will enjoy learning about football, stadiums, and love for the game thought this book. Very cute!
