22 humorous, fun-to-read poems that will get kids excited about soccer and poetry! Anyone who has played soccer will identify with the “A Few Words From Your Shinguard” poem (Sure, I smell like something dead, but who cares?) and the corresponding “ A Few Words From Your Other Shinguard.” My favorite was the reverso poem of instructions to the field players and goalkeeper. Teachers will love the list of poetic forms with brief explanations at the back and want to keep this book close at hand for any poetry unit.

This book is a fun exploration of everything soccer! Kids who love the sport will appreciate and connect with the poems, but readers who are new to the game will enjoy and learn from the poems. Elizabeth Steinglass has included a variety of forms of poetry and includes back matter describing the types of poems. Steinglass makes a game of matching the poems with their forms and includes an answer key. Colorful illustrations set off the poems.

Perfect both for a young athlete or a young reader (sometimes they’re one and the same), SOCCERVERSE is a delightful collection of poems about the sport that is growing in popularity. There are many different forms of poetry presented (as mentioned in the back matter) so kids, and adults, can learn some new forms. Plus, all the poems are super fun to read aloud. You can feel the rhythm of the game in the words!

Wow! What a clever book. I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. Soccerverse not only celebrates soccer, but life: friendship, diversity, frustration, victory, disappointment...even the shin guards have something to say! And, on top of that, the reader learns about all the different kinds of poetic forms. In a nutshell, genius!

Soccer fans are sure to enjoy Steinglass's poetry in Soccerverse. She introduces soccer terms and poetry forms organically and naturally that makes the reader want to to do both. The glossary of poetic forms at the end is a bonus.
