Review
It's Hockey Season by Jayne J Jones Beehler begins her Drop the Puck series. I thought this was a great book for younger readers. The story is fun, entertaining and has a valuable lesson to learn. I liked it.
It's Hockey Season is illustrated by the talents of Cory Jones . The pictures perfectly follow the story and so vibrant and colorful that hard not to capture one’s eye. The younger readers will be captivated and be able to hold their attention and continue reading to find out what happens all the way to the end.
It's Hockey Season is getting a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for young readers who are between the ages of eight and twelve. I look forward to reading more books like this from Jayne J Jones Beehler in the future, as well as, reading the next installment from the Drop the Puck series, Hooray for Hockey Day!. This would make a great gift and a wonderful addition to the local or school library and even in a classroom for story time.
I received a copy of It's Hockey Season from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
My grandsons will like it.
