Two of our family obsessions are soccer and books, so I’ve been meaning to try a soccer book spine poem for a while. I think they’re a fun reminder that one can love both sports and books.

Amazingly clever poems, Liz! And, wow, you have quite the collection of soccer/sports books in your house! Love, love, love the connection. =)
We have a soccer book library!
Interesting way to create a poem – I wonder what you could come up with by combining non-sports books in with these?
Great spine poem, Liz. Are you familiar with the sports anthology And The Crowd Goes Wild which also combines sports with poems?
Wow-you do have so many sports books. I like how you arranged them, Liz, with the ‘one-word’ titles outside or title-like.
Such a wonderful idea. I might try this with my young poets.
Wow! Both these are great. Also, I’m impressed by our home soccer library. 🙂
Wonderful! I need to buy all of those for my classroom and my soccer-mad boys!
Seriously. Given the number of soccer-mad boys and girls, there should be many more soccer books. My oldest is constantly begging for them, which is why we have so many. They can be surprisingly hard to find! I’m a huge believer in kids reading books they love.
Very Fun!
