[Helen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a wonderful book for all ages! The book has black-and-white photos of Pele playing soccer, with simple text, for emergent readers. The last two pages are a more complete biography of Pele, for older readers. The book shows how Pele was a huge influence on soccer in the USA.

An easy read about Pele and his historical soccer fame. A little dated but still an interesting read.
