Shelf Awareness Best Children's Book of the Year

A soccer story--for boy and girls alike--just in time for the World Cup

"Vini Come The field calls " cries a girl as she and her younger brother rouse their community--family, friends, and the local fruit vendor--for a pickup soccer (futbol) game. Boys and girls, young and old, players and spectators come running--bearing balls, shoes, goals, and a love of the sport.

"Friends versus friends" teams are formed, the field is cleared of cows, and the game begins But will a tropical rainstorm threaten their plans?

The world's most popular and inclusive sport has found its spirited, poetic, and authentic voice in Baptiste Paul's debut picture book--highlighting the joys of the game along with its universal themes: teamwork, leadership, diversity, and acceptance. Creole words (as spoken in St. Lucia, the author's birthplace island in the Caribbean) add spice to the story and are a strong reminder of the sport's world fame. Bright and brilliant illustrations by debut children's book illustrator Jacqueline Alc ntara--winner of the We Need Diverse Books Illustration Mentorship Award--capture the grit and glory of the game and the beauty of the island setting where this particular field was inspired.

Soccer fan or not, the call of The Field is irresistible.

Extremely hard and durable
Color: Blue
These are very hard , but my puppy lives them and my large dog can't tear them up, so that is a huge plus.

Large breed approved
Color: Blue
these incredible aggressive chew toys – they've seriously been a game-changer for my pups! I know it's a bit late, but better late than never, right? I've got a couple of power chewers at home, a Rottweiler and a Labrador, and anyone with big dogs knows the struggle of finding toys that actually last. These bad boys have been in constant rotation for over a year now, and I'm genuinely impressed by their resilience. They're incredibly tough! Funnily enough, we originally had three, but now we're down to just one. The others aren't broken, though – I'm pretty sure my dogs just loved them so much they've hidden them away in some secret stash, as they tend to do with their favorite treasures! Beyond just being durable, these toys have been a massive help with their training. They’re fantastic for redirecting all that enthusiastic chewing away from my furniture and shoes, which, let's be honest, is a huge win for any pet parent! Considering how long they've held up to some serious chomping, the price point is absolutely spot on. You definitely get great value for your money.watch your toe they are heavy. If you've got a dog that's a champion chewer, you absolutely need to try these out. They're a lifesaver!

Durable chew toy.
Color: Blue
My dog loves these. She chews on them a lot. She seems to like the different shapes. She is part Pit and an aggressive chewer. These chew toys last a long time. And I love the three pack so if we lose one, we always have a spare.

Decent durability for the price
Color: Blue
Bought a bunch of these for a dog shelter and have to say - decent for the price of you have aggressive chewers. All of the toys are still going 6+ months later, even with the strongest jawed pitty mix. Does get torn up at the ends but can easily be sanded down for a longer lasting toy, unlike some other hard toys with material not meant for sanding. The antler and ring seem to be favorites. The antler even has a divot so you can put soft treats in it or peanut butter and freeze it for a more interactive experience. Some came with a strong beef/liver smell but not overwhelming or off-putting. They are hefty without being too heavy, less likely to damage floors. Overall a good purchase
