Another author illustrator does some great work. Barney starts off with a story that talks about parents acting weird at their children's sporting events. As an athlete my whole life I can absolutely attest to parents acting weird and embarrassing their children while they play sports. I have seen parents get kicked out of events because they get so crazy and the looks on their kids faces are ones you will never forget. I liked this book because it helped explain why parents act like they are from outer space when they watch their kids play sports. The main thing is that the parents just want their kids to be happy and at the same time support them as much as possible. My favorite part of the book is it looks at both sides of the issue. You get to see why the parents do it and on the other hand why the kids wish the parents wouldn't act like they were from outer space. This book is full of funny cheers and silly outfits and is a book most kids who participate in extracurricular activities could relate to.
