Want to know why OCTOPUSES can’t play football? Or how to play the game across multiple DIMENSIONS? How about learning the REAL RULES of how football is played, why Henry VIII banned it, where it came from, and who the greatest players of ALL TIME are? Whether you love a game of TABLE FOOTBALL, can’t get enough of BACK-GARDEN BALL, only enjoy the game from your SOFA, or would sooner swim with sharks than play it — if you LOVE to LAUGH, this is the book for you! This hilarious fact and fiction hybrid comes from bestselling author and stand-up comic James Campbell, who has visited over 3,000 primary schools to tell stories and encourage children to write their own, and WON the Sunday Times Children’s Sports Book Prize 2023. But be warned — this is NOT a normal book. You can read it forwards, backwards, sideways and in approximately 861,000 different ways in between. Get ready to laugh your BUTT off to a silly book filled with funny stories, partly-true facts and hilarious pictures that will make you think twice about the game everyone thinks they know so well. “Every page is guaranteed to grab the imagination and it’s the perfect thing for dipping into at half time.” Love Reading 4 Kids
