<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Explore the Super Bowl, the most popular sports event in the United States. Learn about the Super Bowl's history, its greatest moments, and the superstar players that make it the biggest event of the year."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>At the end of every season, football fans watch the Super Bowl to see the top teams in the NFL (National Football League) battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The biggest game of the year has a culture of its own, from dazzling halftime shows to hilarious TV commercials. Dive into the Super Bowl's long history of epic football face-offs, nail-biting comebacks, and unbelievable upsets, and discover why each game keeps fans talking for years to come.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Sports' biggest showdowns are detailed in this star-studded series. <strong>Readers will enjoy learning how teams end up in the finals and championship games before reliving triumphant moments</strong>, such as Brandi Chastain's winning penalty kick in the 1999 Women's World Cup. Short bios of top players, including WNBA star Maya Moore and NFL kicker Adam Vinatieri, highlight skill and talent. Fan culture is thoroughly discussed, with the focus on team pride and how sports can unify. There are funny tidbits. For instance, The Stanley Cup Finals discusses how the trophy is brought on a 100-day tour by the winning team's players. They partake in normal but sometimes silly activities with the cup, such as bringing it on a roller coaster. The writing flows easily, and the series uses a simple layout, which keeps readers engaged. VERDICT Recommended for school and public libraries.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br>
