Why I Love Footy by Michael Wagner and Tom Jellett

Why I Love Footy perfectly reflects the experience of going to an Australian Rules match. For kids who love to go to the footy it mirrors their experience and for those who haven’t been it’s a great introduction.

It shows the teams, the playing positions, the run through the banner and, of course, the wildly over-priced, unhealthy food that is mandatorily (at least once) consumed at half-time. The colour and excitement are depicted as is the anticipation before the match and the post-game traditions.

It is a happy depiction of a family enjoying the madness and exuberance that is our much lovedgame.

Go Pies!
