Inhaltsangabe

An epic story for children of all ages, Tennessee football fans, and anyone who's ever had stage fright.

"You've got guts wearing that tux. Wanna come down on the field with us?"

Gosh, YES, the Big Orange Tux Guy would love to go down on the field where his favorite team is about to play the championship game!

Motivated by a negative comment about the Tennessee Volunteers, a young boy harnesses the power of a magic suit to prove his team has class. This joyful tale follows the Tuxie as he finds creative ways to support his team, perform in front of a crowd (gulp!), save a cherished souvenir, and ultimately lead his team onto the field to win the championship!

Based on a wild true story, this distinctive tête-bêche book allows the reader to experience both halves of the big game by flipping it upside down halfway through.

Not just for Vols fans, My Magic Tux shows how courage and confidence can help kids overcome fear, follow their dreams, and have a great time along the way. Enjoy this epic tale for children of all ages, football fans, UT Vols fans, and anyone who's ever had stage fright.
