In the end the brothers realize that teamwork is how they succeed. Critique: Genre: This story is an autobiography about Ronde and Tiki, two twin brothers who played for the Cave Spring Vikings. It is a true story about their feelings towards one another and how they had to overcome jealousy to work together as a team. Character: The character of Ronde is dynamic and round. The reader gets to know who he is through his interactions and dialogue with the other characters. However, Ronde changes throughout the book. He starts out being jealous of his brother who gets all of the attention for scoring all of the touchdowns. He gets frustrated too because he is the one who blocks for Tiki. But in the end, he realizes the importance of working as a team and having separate roles. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Twin brothers Tiki and Ronde Barber share a story of perseverance and teamwork from when they were growing up and playing for the Cave Springs Vikings before they became NFL superstars. Ronde and Tiki are a team. They are twins, they are each other's best friends and biggest fans, and they play on the same football team, the Cave Spring Vikings. Ronde is #21 and Tiki is #22, always side by side. Tiki has had seven long touch-down runs this season, and Ronde is proud of his brother, but he can't help feeling a little down when Tiki gets all the glory. If Ronde hadn't been leading the way with his blocks, Tiki wouldn't have been clear to score. Ronde thinks nobody notices the guy who blocks; they only notice the guy who scores. Will the day ever come when Ronde will get his chance? Written by two NFL superstars, this story of perseverance and teamwork will inspire. Barry Root's glowing illustrations bring to life all the excitement and energy of a great game and a team working together. No library descriptions found. |

Review: I liked reading this story about Ronde and Tiki Baber. In a sense, it is a biography, as it talks about their lives growing up. As we all know, they both end up becoming professional football players so it was comforting to read a story about their rise to this family. Understandably enough, Ronde is upset that he is never congratulated for his "behind-the-scenes" work. His coach wants the best for his team and designs a play the uses both players at the same time. I really enjoyed reading about their ability to cooperate during a play. I would consider reading this to my future students to teach them the power of working together and where it can get you in life. ( )
