This a biography about a professional football player for the Detroit Lions named Barry Sanders. This book contains facts about his life before his professional career. It also contains facts about his great running back career with the Detroit Lions.

I love football and remember watching him play when I was growing up so I really enjoyed the book. The author had great facts and information about him that I was unaware of, so I learned some new things about him. I also enjoyed the pictures throughout the book that caught my attention while I was reading.

In the classroom I would not assign this book becuase I know that not everyone enjoys football. However, I might use it to illustrate to the class what a biography is. I then would ask the class to find a similar book over someone that interets them and have them read it.
