After all, he's been playing it for almost three weeks! So he's pretty much an expert. Here Max shares his one-of-a-kind helpful tips including how to warm up (stretch, twirl, somersault), who's who on the field (the ref is in yellow and wears a whistle--you should not bring your own whistle), and what to do with your hands since you can't touch the ball (wave at fans, hide them in your shirt, play itsy-bitsy spider). But could Max possibly be forgetting something very important? Full of humor, energy, and warmth, \u003ci\u003eMax Explains Everything: Soccer Expert\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect read aloud for novice players as well as for fellow \"kid experts\" on the game. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWant more fun with Max?
