We think this is a lively, accessible introduction to David Beckham, with bright illustrations and a clear focus on practice, perseverance and following a dream. Football fans will enjoy the whistle-stop tour from East London to Manchester United and beyond, while the timeline adds useful real-life context. It is necessarily a little light on detail, but that is hardly a red card for an early biography.
