Success in the NFL came early and often for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. In 2004, Ben was named the NFL Rookie of the Year, and the next season he became the youngest quarterback ever to win the Super Bowl. Though he was proud of these accomplishments, Ben knew some other things were more important—like helping others and changing lives. To pursue these objectives, he decided in 2006 to start the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation, an organization that strives to help communities by purchasing service dogs for police and fire departments across the country. In Ben Roethlisberger, kids will follow Ben's amazing football career and also discover how he has made a difference in people's lives off the field through his charity work. Large, full-color action photos and engaging text will keep readers turning the pages for more. Ben Roethlisberger is part of Bearport's Football Heroes Making a Difference series.

      Gr 2-4-These athletes make a difference in other peoples lives through volunteering. Whether it is through an organization that contributes to various charities, such as the Matt Hasselbeck Foundation, or a with a single body such as the Special Olympics, which Urlacher supports, each sports hero contributes to the community during his time off the field. Colorful photographs show not only football action shots, but also portray the player both as a youth and as an adult volunteering. Even though the information is spare, libraries needing updated football biographies for this age group will welcome this new slant. The biographies of two quarterbacks of the recent Superbowl playoffsMcNabb and Roethlisbergerwill be particularly popular.

      Each short biography begins with the player's career highlights and concludes by showcasing his charitable works (e.g., Urlacher's commitment to the Special Olympics, McNabb's work with the American Diabetes Association). Large, bright action shots and a smattering of family photographs add interest to the well-intentioned but information-sparse volumes. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
