Booklist
“This installment in the Feel Better Books for Little Kids series offers a corrective to today’s hypercompetitive sports environment, aimed at both kids and adults. The message is inclusive: people of all nations, ages, races, and genders love and can benefit from sports . . . No matter what, the authors emphasize, it’s important to have fun and be a good sport. . . . Timely and helpful.”—Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“Brochmann and Bowen’s rhyming, singsong stanzas first introduce the physical benefits of sports before moving to emotional aspects like empathy, sportsmanship, and losing with grace. . . . A comprehensive and successful child’s introduction to competitive sports.”—Kirkus Reviews
