Review Quotes: The excitement of a family's trip to a football game segues into a Goodnight Moon-like list of goodnights, ending with the young boy in bed, asleep, football tucked under his arm. . . .Much is evident from the small details: the family's love for one another, the good sportsmanship on display on the field and the boy's passion for football. . . .At least one fan's dreams will be of the gridiron.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
