Football School Season 1: Where Football Explains the World

---

and science to geography, mathematics, history, and even linguistics. Each chapter is formatted like a school lesson ("modules") and features humorous, kid-friendly cartoons that accompany real-world facts and athlete anecdotes. Questions such as “When do footballers poo?”, “Can you play football on Mars?”, and “What is a magic sponge?” introduce scientific and geographical concepts in a playful, engaging way.

Journalist-authors Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton leverage their sports and science expertise to teach children that learning can be fun, relatable, and rooted in their interests. Quizzes at the end of each lesson reinforce comprehension, while unexpected topics (like mascots in zoology or economics behind player salaries) broaden readers' perspectives.

Endorsed by education organizations such as the Premier League, National Literacy Trust, and BookTrust—and praised for sparking curiosity—this book makes learning about the world feel like a football match: energetic, surprising, and full of goals.
