Shelf Awareness Best Children's Book of the Year

A soccer story--for boy and girls alike--just in time for the World Cup

"Vini Come The field calls " cries a girl as she and her younger brother rouse their community--family, friends, and the local fruit vendor--for a pickup soccer (futbol) game. Boys and girls, young and old, players and spectators come running--bearing balls, shoes, goals, and a love of the sport.

"Friends versus friends" teams are formed, the field is cleared of cows, and the game begins But will a tropical rainstorm threaten their plans?

The world's most popular and inclusive sport has found its spirited, poetic, and authentic voice in Baptiste Paul's debut picture book--highlighting the joys of the game along with its universal themes: teamwork, leadership, diversity, and acceptance. Creole words (as spoken in St. Lucia, the author's birthplace island in the Caribbean) add spice to the story and are a strong reminder of the sport's world fame. Bright and brilliant illustrations by debut children's book illustrator Jacqueline Alc ntara--winner of the We Need Diverse Books Illustration Mentorship Award--capture the grit and glory of the game and the beauty of the island setting where this particular field was inspired.

Soccer fan or not, the call of The Field is irresistible.

Works for my aggressive chewer
Color: GT-2P
It is extremely hard material! My puppy is 6 month old and rips through everything and these absolutely have lasted longer than any plush toys, bully sticks etc. I honestly didn't think I would like them for her but she definitely aggressively choose on these all the time and they hold up so well. If you have a dog that aggressively choose these work for mine.

My Belgium loved her new toys…. Instantly started to destroy them … I can already tell these will last a while with how tough they are.

Received these chew toys earlier today and my dog latched onto them quickly. He has been alternating playing with these since delivery.

Got for larger pup, but younger/smaller pup likes them more.
Color: GT-2P, Color: GT-2P
I got these to try for our older pup that likes to chew on sticks and is always wanting to bring one inside, but I think he just prefers sticks instead. Our younger pup loves them though and steals them...runs off with one and chews on it...comes back and steals the other to take to her pile of toys for eventual destruction. That's just her nature. Ha ha! She is about 35 lbs. and, though these might be a little larger than I might have initially gotten for her, they are great and work just fine to keep her busy and entertained. I think the value for 2 super tough chew toys that are going to last more than a week is great. The texture of them is good for gnawing, or at least she thinks so. I would get them again but will not need to for awhile.
