This addition to the series traces the elapsed time as the Huskies prepare for and play in their soccer championship game. Relationships between units of time are neatly woven into the text, and the Huskies' canine mascot helps with thought bubbles that point out unit equivalents (1/2 hour = 30 minutes). Stylized, childlike paintings show the girls ready for soccer action. Related activities are suggested. Bib.

Gr 2-3-In one week, two girls' soccer teams will test their skills during the championship game. Told from the Huskies's point of view, the story builds tension as the big day approaches. During the game, the Falcons appear to be winning but, with nine seconds to go, the Huskies score. Designed to teach time measurement, the book introduces weeks and hours. The match lends itself to an explanation of quarter hours, which coincide with the periods of play. The scoreboard, shown on almost every page, has a countdown while an analog clock on the refreshment stand gives the time of day. The action is fast paced, and the soft-colored, pencil-and-watercolor cartoons pack plenty of action. The book concludes with an excellent list of time-study activities. Pair this with Teddy Slater's Just a Minute (Scholastic, 1996) to establish the feeling of time's passage.-Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, NJ Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
