Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,778
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

My Kid’s New Soccer Obsession
I absolutely loved how this audiobook turned my kid’s mild curiosity about soccer into full-blown excitement. Each short chapter is jam-packed with inspiring stories that highlight the dedication and teamwork behind legendary players. My son especially enjoyed the interactive activities that encouraged him to see soccer as more than just a sport. It’s not just about the game, though—the lessons on resilience and cultural understanding really resonated with our family. Overall, it’s the perfect blend of fun, motivation, and learning.

Perfect book for a kid who loves soccer
If you have a kid who eats, sleeps, and breathes soccer, this book is a no-brainer. It is packed with stories about the greatest players, the biggest moments, and the lessons that go way beyond the game. Even if they are not big on reading, the short chapters and fun facts will keep them hooked.
What I liked most is how it is not just stats and history. It actually digs into what makes these players legends—their hard work, resilience, and love for the game. The stories are inspiring without feeling like a lecture, which is a win. If anything, I would have liked even more behind-the-scenes moments, but what is here is solid.
If your kid dreams of playing like their favorite soccer stars or just loves the game, this book is a great way to keep that passion going. Fun, inspiring, and full of stories they will actually want to read.
