Greg Pizzoli comes through again!
"He was the best at speed!" really made me laugh a lot. I like that this book talks about the different ways to win, and friendship, and also that there's a gator :)

The children in my class loved it. The book deals with what happens when you do not win and how to make good decisions.

Not only is this a fun book about racing, but it’s a great way to teach kids that being first isn’t the most important thing in the world.

Greg Pizzoli is a master at early readers literacy. He does what so few can. He writes about what kids understand - whether its swallowing a watermelon seed or wanting to be #1 - but does so in simple text. He can convey what kids are thinking and doing in an easy and accessible language. Love passing these along to young readers!

Being number 1 doesn't always mean coming in first.

I was underwhelmed by this, but I think it would be great for early readers and I'm all for the message.

There are lots of ways to be a winner and Sam learns that in this story. While he's an excellent racer, he's also an excellent duckling rescuer.
