GOOOOAAAALLL! Score one for David Diehl, in his newest colorful and conceptual sports book for toddlers. Diehl celebrates the world’s most popular game, putting a bright spotlight on a single soccer-related word on every page. Striking graphic designs in dazzling hues convey all the excitement of a “goalkeeper” making a “save”; the referee issuing a “yellow card” to a misbehaving player; the suspense of a “free kick”; or the home team finally getting a beautifully completed “goal.” All of Diehl’s illustrations are intensely, brilliantly active, and kids will love it—because it’s never too soon to get ready for this electrifying game.

World War I flying ace, winner of the Medal of Honor, and racecar driver Eddie Rickenbacker was an adventurous boy who first attempted flight by riding his bicycle off the roof while holding an umbrella. The son of Swiss immigrants, young Eddie grew up in the Midwest in the early 20th century. He worked hard to help support his family, but found time to build a "pushmobile," experience a thrilling ride in a horseless carriage, and come face-to-face with a moving train. Young readers will gasp as he rides a runaway mining cart that jumps the tracks and cheer at Eddie's first auto racing victory. Included are fun facts about Eddie Rickenbacker's life and the America he grew up in.

Jeff Gordon entered his first car race when he was only five years old, an age when most children are learning to ride a bike. From that time onward, he's been a champion in his chosen sport. From the quarter midget cars of his childhood, he moved on to go-carts, then sprint cars, and finally midget cars. Then, in 1991, he got his first taste of stock-car racing - and never looked back. After a few years of getting his feet wet in the Busch Grand National scene, he vaulted into the Winston Cup ring. In 1995, he was the youngest driver of the modern era ever to win the coveted Winston Cup. Two years later he proved his abilities were no fluke when he won the title again.
