Summary: A history of how quidditch came to be, famous teams, rules, fouls, and history of the broom,.
Attention Span/reading level: 8-10+. - Short chapter book. Full of wit that some kids may not understand.
Good uses for book in teaching: Nothing
Favorite part: (Mine and/or Child): Mine: The evolution of quidditch section. Also, the description of the Snidget.
Least favorite part? Warnings/negative feedback?: None.(It does talk about a few ways to get fouls and things that are violent or of questionable nature. but it's totally passive).
Review: This was a funny, witty history of quidditch. I love that J.K. Rowling wrote this book especially for the charity Comic Relief. This organization's mission uses positive entertainment to raise money to help poverty around the world. Seeing that it was written for an organization like such as this, it's easy to see where the whit comes of the book comes from.
It was interesting to read about the evolution of quidditch from a game where rocks were bewitched to fall into buckets on people's heads to being on a broom. The idea of the snitch was born from a small bird called a Snidget. Learning about each of the teams and each of they're symbols was fun too. Overall a very cute, fun read.
