This was a really good sports book. Some parents attempt to live out their childhood through their children. It ultimately sucks the fun and enjoyment out that child because they're not playing for themselves. When parents are cranky and begin yelling at coaches and referees in front of their children, it sends the wrong message.Winning isn't everything and you only lose when you don't try. I also enjoyed the vivid illustrations that were used in this picture book. ( )

For any children involved in sports, likely they will relate to this book. For parents involved in youth athletics, they will likely see parts of themselves in this book. This is a great teaching tool on how to work with others and in behavior, both good and bad. ( )

Children can feel pressured from adults and adults sometimes lose track that sports are for. Kids are to have fun and they will not always win. This book shows children that the importance of sports is to have fun, even though they might feel pressure to win. ( )
