Essentially a re-write of The Goalkeeper's Revenge by Bill Naughton, but it totally engaged my Year 3 emerging readers group.

I learn this book that we have to concentrate at one thing. We cannot do or think at two things at one time.And I learned that if you do twice at one time bad things will happens to you.
