My Kindergartner read this aloud to me and enjoyed it!
Mo is the youngest player on the football team called the Robins and hardly gets any playing time.  When they play against the Jays, Coach Steve has a plan to win that utilizes Mo.
It is fun to predict Coach Steve's strategy.
Strategy: predicting, "skippy the frog" word attack strategy
Points to discuss: I did not like how the players on the Jays team treated Mo.  Some name calling and taunting occurred.
