[.ca] Z is for Zamboni: A Hockey Alphabet (ISBN 1585360651)

Not just a children's book:
This is a must for any hockey fan with children. Not only is it a traditional ABC's book, it also teaches about the history of hockey and helps people of all ages get a better appreciation for the game.

Z for Zamboni receives and A+ from us!:
My 4 year old "hockey-nut" son absolutely adores this book. It makes bedtime easier because he knows we get to read this book. As a first grade teacher, I applaude the way that the authors have also made this a "teaching" book. My son is now recognizing the alphabet as we read the book. I plan on buying several more and giving it as a gift! A++++++

Jesus has nothing on this book:
i have read many books in my time. Everything from mad amagazine to the compact edition of the oxford english dictionary. i would have to say that Z is for Zamboni: A Hockey Alphabet may be one of the best books written since the bible. I have learned more from this book about hockey than i have from reading every single Dr. Seuss twice. I say that we hold up Matt Napier to be the next great childrens author of this new millenium.

Grade Four Highview Public School:
Yesterday we read the book called Z is for Zamboni in our grade four class. It was a good book. We enjoyed reading the book and learning more information about hockey. Our class thought the illustrations were just beautiful! We have also read M is for Maple when studying Canada in our room. We are hooked on Matt Napier's books now. We would love to read any other titles he might have written. We are wondering how the author got his ideas. Is he a hockey fan? We are also curious to find out what Mr. Napier's favourite book is. We want to find out if he has a favourite hockey team. Mrs. Mako hopes that it is the Montreal Canadians!!!!Ok or the Toronto Maple Leafs!! We think that Matt's next book should be T is for Toronto!!

A Hard-Hitting Winner!:
This book hit me hard. It is an absolute joy to read. I originally bought it as an afterthought to add to a display of Canadian themed books for my students to read in their spare time, but once I actually picked it up and read it, I realized its full potential. This is a great book to add to all collections regardless of age or gender. While hockey buffs will immediately be drawn to this book, others will fall in love with it, too. Also, it would make a great gift for so many people I know. An awesome find!
