Illustrated by Charlene Chua
Look inside
The youngest of readers and the sports-loving grown-ups in their lives can now enjoy the world's most popular sports--soccer--before going to bed a winner.

After putting on their gear and warming up, the Dolphins are ready for kick off! When the opposing team scores in the first half, a young girl and her teammates take an orange-slice break before getting back out there. This young girl scores the tying goal in the second half just before the final whistle and goes to sleep a winner.
