What does the Pageticker team say about Football Stories: Heroes Of The World Cup?

Football Stories: Heroes of the World Cup is a lively introduction to football's biggest stars, pairing simple, accessible text with bright cartoon illustrations. We like its inclusive line-up of players from both the men's and women's World Cups, and its encouraging message that champions once started out as children with big dreams. It is best for young football fans who enjoy dipping into short biographies rather than expecting detailed sporting history - this is the highlights reel, not the full ninety minutes.
