by Matt Napier
from Sleeping Bear Press
Illustrated by Melanie Rose
The companion volume to our bestselling, Blue Spruce Award winner, Z is for Zamboni: A Hockey Alphabet.. Like our alphabet series our counting books are written in a two-tier format with charming poems for young readers and expository text for older readers.
Young sports fans see numbers everywhere -- the scoreboard, the retired jerseys in the rafters, the numerology of sports stats -- and Hat Tricks Count: A Hockey Number Book delivers them faster than an assist from the Great One, number 99 himself. Hat Tricks Count will answer many of the fast paced questions kids have. What is a Hat Trick, anyway? Cross checking, high sticking, and hooking penalties add up to what? Who scored more career goals -- Gordie Howe or Wayne Gretzky?

Melanie Rose has illustrated six other titles for Sleeping Bear. She lives near Toronto, Ontario.
