Noioso.

What if animals could have their own Olympic Games? What games would they play? Cute book.

[Ashley Adams · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is fine for early readers, but it's a lot of "Said, so-and-so." And "cried, someone-else." Pretty dull.

Cute & quirky. The snail race 😂😂

This was a super fun picture book! It the stories were funny and I loved the illustrations. I can’t wait to read all the others in this series. I bet kids will adore these. 4.5 stars

This book was cooking since 1994.

The gentle humor and wit one expects from a James Stevenson title, perfect to haul out whenever the Olympics come around or to include in a sports line up, or just as a sweet read anytime. Oldie but a goodie. Yes for HCL.

A bit long for a 2 and 4 year old to sit through after reading two other books prior. A good book to read on it's own. Could discuss the feelings of losing and good sportsmanship.

Such a cute funny book written in "way back" in 1994. We were all laughing as we read it. Highly recommend. It consists of several cute stories about their "Olympic" events!
