Reviews
This is a comprehensive social story about flexibility and sensitivity. It helped my autistic son who would find it hard to tolerate not winning. What helped the most is the ditty ""winners don't whine and whiners never win"". It's catchy and can easily be recollected in daily situations to recollect the lessons of the book. AG Just when I pride myself (an elementary school counselor for 30+ years) on owning and sharing EVERY Julia Cook book with my students, she writes yet another superb book that no counselor, parent, teacher, caregiver, coach, etc. can be without! This wonderful book is for everyone helping children acquire a sense of intrinsic motivation and develop better ways to act. Sydney Horton Sauer, M.S. School Counselor
