This delightful picture book features a loveable bear, who is very large for his age. Biggie Bear
collects stamps, plays jazz, and likes being by himself, but all that changes one day when he's asked
to join the town's soccer team.
With a big game scheduled, the team wants Bear's help even though he has never played soccer before.
Unfortunately, size isn't everything as his teammates discover when their clumsy new recruit almost
costs them the game.
With the score tied and just seconds left, something really odd happens that turns Bear into the
afternoon's hero but not, perhaps, in the way you would imagine.
This droll tale of Biggie Bear's foray onto the soccer field proves, once again, that it is
sometimes better to be lucky than good. The humor in Bear's situation will elicit a few giggles and
any child who plays soccer will get a kick out of the humorous ending.
