This book introduces 4-8 years old's to the concepts of respect, camaraderie and teamwork. I teach reading to Kindergarten, first and second grade students, so this was perfect for me to use at school.

My students were drawn to the book by the colorful illustrations. The character's expressions alone will make you want to read it. They're really quite adorable.
They enjoyed the story and were excited to have a 5th grade student volunteer to read it to them. We had an excellent discussion of sportsmanship and they loved listening to the Winning Isn't Everything song (from the website) while working on activities about teamwork.
I'm sorry I can't show you their adorable little faces (for their privacy). You'll have to trust me... they were having a great time!

I tell my kids that everyone places! The order doesn't matter. If you don't try, you can never place, so even last place is better than having no place at all!
