	AndyJSmith said: My favorite children's book! A timeless kid dilemma is examined through 1950's French Canada's fascination with the Montreal Canadiens hockey team... caught wearing the 'wrong' or 'uncool' clothes, in this case, the hockey jersey of the hated rival Toronto Maple Leafs. A fun (and funny) story any kid can relate to, regardless of what sport excites them. Cohen's agreeable, child-like illustrations help you feel the warmth of the woodstove and the chill of the frozen pond. Carrier's writing helps you feel the embarrassment of being (and the desperation of trying not to be) uncool. tags: I read, Inspired me, I recommend
