"This fast-paced, informative book is perfect for those of ANY age who want to learn about the world's most popular sport....Narrator Joshua Swanson's enthusiasm keeps listeners engaged even amid the book's many facts and figures.

Entertaining, informative summary of World Cup history. The nine and under set (including both of my kids) will really love it. I, too, enjoyed it, but because both the writing style and the voice performance are aimed at a young audience, it can be a little difficult to listen to at times. For the intended audience, it's a goal. Well done.

Entertaining, especially for young ones
