My First Book of Hockey
Sports llustrated Kids
Clear, age-appropriate, and genuinely funny.
A wonderful first hockey book for little beginners - and for the parent reading aloud, who may be new to hockey too.
The book sets the clock running and takes young players through a game: three periods, twenty minutes each. Which, the book points out, means two snack breaks. This book understands its audience. From the first face-off to the final whistle, shifts, slapshots, penalties and power plays are explained as they happen.

Why It Works
My First Book of Hockey explains hockey in a way young children naturally learn - through visual discovery, play and humour.
Real NHL players are accompanied by a cartoon rookie whose questions and commentary help children make sense of the game.
