In this follow-up to the Newbery-winning novel THE CROSSOVER, soccer, family, love, and friendship, take center stage as twelve-year-old Nick learns the power of words as he wrestles with problems at home, stands up to a bully, and tries to impress the girl of his dreams. Helping him along are his best friend and sometimes teammate Coby, and The Mac, a rapping librarian who gives Nick inspiring books to read.
This electric and heartfelt novel-in-verse by poet Kwame Alexander bends and breaks as it captures all the thrills and setbacks, action and emotion of a World Cup match

It will be a toy that your dogs will love and will last for a long time
Color: Stick, Color: Stick
This is the second I buy. The first lasted for several years and my dogs love it. It is one of his favorite toys. Eventually the string came off, but my dogs kept playing with the bone. Very good quality!

Could use some improvements.
Color: Stick
My Caine corso 15month old puppy destroyed this item in five minutes. The product should have a longer/thicker rope inside tube and a thicker knott at each end of tube. The puppy loves the item but it is destroyed.

Dog loved it, wish it had lasted - better suited for light chewers
Color: Stick
Our puppy was able to pull the rope out of the rubber piece within a day or so. Unfortunately, he then started chewing on the blue rubber piece and had it destroyed in no time. Once the pieces started coming off, we had to throw it away to prevent him from ingesting it.

great for teething puppies
Color: Stick
I have puppies that are 6 weeks old and this toy has been great. They like to gnaw on it as their teeth are erupting. I easy to clean, washer and dryer. I have several other teething toys from same company as I liked this one so much. Would purchase again, highly recommend for teething pups.
