Little Eddie’s family’s enthusiasm for football is getting on her nerves. During the European Championship, all Eddie’s parents and her younger brother do is watch football, discuss goals and neglect things like meals; even Eddie has to ask whether pizza and popcorn are sensible nutrition. Then their father wins tickets to the German team’s final at London’s Wembley Stadium. Eddie takes the flight reluctantly, but gets to know the national team right away. Finally, she is able to use her big toe, which is so strong that she can crack nuts with it, in unexpected ways. A football miracle happens! Oh je, schon wieder Fußball (Oh No, Football Again) by author Zoran Drvenkar and illustrator Patricia Keller is a delightfully funny first reading book that is not only suitable for young football fans.
When I visited the GI library, I experienced its recreational concept. I was surprised to find we could study German language, literature and culture in such a fun way, through the facilities and programs available.
