School Library Journal - 10/17/2025 Gr 3–7—Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, with players and leagues all over. This almanac breaks down the phenomenon with information about the sport, famous players, history, trick move breakdowns, and more. With bright colors and clear organization of content, starting from the basics of leagues to famous players, the book is as appealing to young readers as the game itself. Full-color photos are featured throughout, as well as some cartoon imagery. The volume makes it a point to cover men's and women's teams and champions equally. However, the work ends abruptly, without a cohesive conclusion to this fact-filled read. The text is large and accessible for younger readers and middle school readers alike. VERDICT A solid purchase for elementary and middle school sports nonfiction and ready reference collections.—Molly Dettmann - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
