Description: "Football frenzy has gripped the animal world and competitions are arranged for animals, upsetting their daily rhythm of eating, sleeping and thinking about the next meal. They start training, kicking a huge dung ball to get themselves in shape for the grand final.  What is lovely about this book is the way the animals react to this challenge each in their own fashion using their natural abilities. The book is a way of getting to know animal behaviour and with short descriptive inserts, to learn more about African wildlife. The story is about the animal kingdom's version of the soccer World Cup but there's more to it than that.There are lessons in friendship, teamwork, community and life in the wild"--Publisher's website.
