# Max Explains Everything: Soccer Expert - Hardcover

by **Stacy McAnulty** (Author), **Deborah Hocking** (Illustrator)

**This hilarious, tongue-in-cheek guide from kid-expert Max reveals everything you need to know about the game of soccer.**

Max knows a lot about soccer. After all, he's been playing it for almost three weeks! So he's pretty much an expert. Here Max shares his one-of-a-kind helpful tips including how to warm up (stretch, twirl, somersault), who's who on the field (the ref is in yellow and wears a whistle--you should not bring your own whistle), and what to do with your hands since you can't touch the ball (wave at fans, hide them in your shirt, play itsy-bitsy spider). But could Max possibly be forgetting something very important? Full of humor, energy, and warmth, _Max Explains Everything: Soccer Expert_ is the perfect read aloud for novice players as well as for fellow "kid experts" on the game.
