Do you love playing games but don’t like to lose? The character in this book is about to lose his friends because he gets so angry when he loses a game. Find out how he develops his own strategies to become a good sportsman, so his friends will continue to want to play with him. While this book will support any child learning to manage big emotions and winning and losing, this story was inspired by work with children on the autism spectrum to help provide another safe place for them to experience winning at losing (and at winning!)
This book identifies the emotions involved in winning and losing, then provides practical ways to handle the emotions. A must-read for children and a helpful approach for adults to learn and teach to others. Should be in every school library to teach how to win, how to lose, and the fun of playing the game with others. Appealing illustrations enhance and support the down-to-earth concepts. A valuable contribution to children's literature!
This book brings up an important point for children to be gracious and accepting of how to play games and lose. My son is very competitive and this is a great way to bring up a conversation about losing and winninng
I really enjoyed this book. It was beautifully illustrated and explores a topic not usually discussed. Children need good solid strategies to help them manage their emotions and this book delivers! A great resource for home or classroom.
