This is the perfect first book about football hero Harry Kane!
In Football Stories: Kane, young readers will find out how Harry Kane went from a promising youngster to captain of the England football team. With simple text and engaging art, this fully illustrated unofficial picture book is the ideal first read for little football fans.
Anyone who lives for the FIFA World Cup will enjoy reading the story of Kane’s road to international triumph, especially when they learn that once he was just a football-loving little kid, just like them!
Simon once worked at the Science Museum in London, where he flew paper aeroplanes and made giant bubbles for children. Now he writes and edits books about things like dinosaurs, ice hockey, thunderstorms and llamas. He lives in Kent with his wife and daughter, a cat and two tortoises.
Dan Green has drawn silly pictures since he could hold a crayon. Then he grew up and started making books about stuff like trucks, space, people’s jobs, Doctor Who and Star Wars. Dan lives in Suffolk with his wife, son, daughter and dog that takes him for very long walks.
