For the kid who narrates their own highlight reel. Sports Star Mad Libs Junior lines up 21 fill in the blank stories across baseball, football, soccer, hockey and more, and lets a young athlete decide what gets dribbled, what gets slam dunked, and what the crowd chants when the winning NOUN goes in.

It plays in the Junior format made for ages 5 to 8: each story has a word bank keyed to simple symbols, so beginning readers can pick their words without any grammar lessons first. Fill the blanks, read it aloud in your best announcer voice, and the post game interview writes itself.

A big 48 page paperback for the car ride to practice, the tournament hotel, and every teammate's gift bag. Reading and vocabulary training disguised as locker room comedy.
