For anyone who can't see a ball without wanting to kick it, head it, shoot it, or boot it!
"Not eating an ice-cream / Or riding a bike / No - kicking a ball / Is what I like.
What I like best / yes, most of all / in my whole life / is ...kicking a ball."
A wonderful rhyming story to read aloud, Kicking A Ball will not disappoint fans of Allan Ahlberg. First written as a poem, the little boy in the story has been brought to life perfectly by artist Sebastien Braun.
Every parent will be able to immediately relate to the simple joy felt by a boy simply kicking a ball, and how there is nothing else quite like it. The incomparable Allan Ahlberg takes us on a journey from childhood to fatherhood full of humour, warmth, friendship ...and football.
