Summary from Frances Lincoln
Max is mad about sport. As he gets up, has breakfast and heads off to
school he is dreaming of competing in world class sporting events. In
his real day he and his class win the school football match, and in his
imagination he and his friends are winning the World Cup. This is a
lively and fun approach to sport, and a very inclusive picture book
showing disabled children and children without disabilities mixing and
enjoying different sports in a natural way. The sports include football,
rugby, athletics, cricket, diving, discus throwing, cycling.
Nayuleska's thoughts
I confess that my favourite character was Max's bunny who joined him on
every step of the way. The funniest scene was when the bunny has breakfast and
is reading a bunny themed sports paper.Max never stops thinking about sport!
