Review: I bought this book for my first granddaughter and coming from a hockey family it was a necessary buy. I'm buying a copy for my new grandson. The illustrations are fantastic. The word choices are right on the mark. A must for a hockey loving family.

Summary: Hockey Book is Full of Hockey
Review: I was absolutely first-line, rookie-of-the-year impressed by "Z is for Zamboni." I don't think there could have been much more crease-crashing, glove-wearing, hockey-spelling hockey in this book. Everyone I've shown it to has been impressed both by the amount of hockey in the book, and also by the fact that all 26 some-odd letters have a rhyme specifically written for them, relating to the "old stick and puck." I would recommend this book to anyone interested in hockey, or the alphabet.

Summary: Jesus has nothing on this book
Review: In his incredible debut to the world of children's books, Matt Napier manages to bring to life one of the world's greatest sports with both vivacity and ingenuity. His choices for each letter of the alphabet are carefully thought out and well represented, giving a clear yet diverse insight into Canada's national pastime. Coupled with Melanie Rose's detailed illustrations, this book is a sure hit for a child (or child at heart) of any age. Kudos to this fine young author!

Summary: Z for Zamboni receives and A+ from us!
Review: My 4 year old "hockey-nut" son absolutely adores this book. It makes bedtime easier because he knows we get to read this book. As a first grade teacher, I applaude the way that the authors have also made this a "teaching" book. My son is now recognizing the alphabet as we read the book. I plan on buying several more and giving it as a gift! A++++++

Summary: Blown Away
Review: Wow. That's all that comes to mind after reading this humdinger. My new wife Jan and I could not get enough of this book. We read it to our daughter Carly about once a week. She can't get enough! I'm really excited to see what this talented, stable, potential-filled kid will do next. And talk about his performance on Off The Record!
I'm going to agree with the rest of the world on this one: Zing.

Summary: Not just a children's book
Review: Yesterday we read the book called Z is for Zamboni in our grade four class. It was a good book. We enjoyed reading the book and learning more information about hockey. Our class thought the illustrations were just beautiful! We have also read M is for Maple when studying Canada in our room. We are hooked on Matt Napier's books now. We would love to read any other titles he might have written. We are wondering how the author got his ideas. Is he a hockey fan? We are also curious to find out what Mr. Napier's favourite book is. We want to find out if he has a favourite hockey team. Mrs. Mako hopes that it is the Montreal Canadians!!!!Ok or the Toronto Maple Leafs!! We think that Matt's next book should be T is for Toronto!!
