When Peppermint Patty tries to teach Marcie how to play football, Marcie finds out that this is not really a sport she likes so much. Patty tells her to do something like grabbing Patty when she has the ball and instead Marcie grabs her hair.
Normally Charlie Brown books would be considered fantasy since there is a dog that talks and some unrealistic events in the stories. But this book contains nothing unrealistic and is something that could possibly happen.
A teacher could use this in a classroom to have the class practice appreciative listening.
There is not much of a plot in this book. Marcie has a hard time figuring out how to play football properly, and in the end she just gets hit on the head with the football and doesn't care. There is not resolution to the plot.
