Summary: Ice and Ice Cream: The Importance of Teamwork!
Review: Hal, the new kid in town, tries to make a good impression on his hockey teammates. However, by trying too hard and placing his personal performance first, he forgets such fundamentals as teamwork, the importance of defense, following the coach's directions, and enjoying the game, and he plays worse than on his former hockey team. With the help of his coach and his dad, Hal learns to play team ball, and the taste of victory is as sweet as the post-game hot fudge sundaes.

The book has 29 pages, generally unimaginative pictures, and a fairly predictable story. Still, the young hockey fan will enjoy the action and may appreciate the emphasis on teamwork and defense. A "Hello Reader!" book (Level 3) recommended for students in grades 1 and 2.

Summary: My son loves this book
Review: It's not great literature by any means, but this has been one of my son's favorite books since he was about 4 years old. Now that he's almost 7, it's a perfect book for him to read to ME. His twin sister has always enjoyed it as well. It's funny cause even though it is very simple and predictable, the kids seem to really enjoy the simplicity and predictability of it. It's also got a number of very good messages about being a good sport, teamwork, listening to the coach, etc.
