Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Educational and Fun!
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook, and I am sure the kids will too! The stories of iconic moments, like the legendary "Hail Mary" pass, and inspiring biographies of players who overcame challenges were entertaining and motivational. My favourite part was learning about legends like Jerry Rice's resilience and Payton Manning's selfless ways to give back to underprivileged children. These legends inspire kids to use their platform for the greater good. I also loved the mix of fun facts, interactive quizzes, and lessons on teamwork and sportsmanship. These keep children engaged and eager to learn more. It is a good balance of history and real-life values like perseverance and teamwork. It is educational and fun!

I Knew NOTHING About Football
Honestly, I have never been a football fan, perhaps because I didn't understand the game and was too embarrassed to ask someone to teach me. After reading (listening to) this book, I now have a working knowledge of the game and certainly a better handle on its intricacies. I found the stories inspirational and aspirational. Thanks for this football primer.

A total HIT in my family!
This audiobook was an absolute hit in our household! A Kid’s Guide to Football Legends is the perfect way to introduce kids to the world of football in a way that’s fun, inspiring, and packed with life lessons. My child, who was only mildly interested in the sport, is now completely fascinated by the thrilling stories of legendary players and unforgettable games.
What I loved most were the inspirational biographies and golden rules for young players—it’s more than just a book about football; it’s a guide to perseverance, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The interactive quizzes and fun facts kept my child engaged the entire time, and the heartwarming lessons about overcoming challenges made this audiobook just as valuable for character-building as it was for learning about the game.
Whether your child is a budding athlete or just starting to explore football, this audiobook is a fantastic resource. It’s a touchdown for parents who want to inspire and educate their kids in one go!
