Synopses & Reviews
Here is a book for younger children who live in households where the first language is Spanish. It's one of several titles in Barron's Live and Learn series for younger children. They are books that take a child's point of view, especially if the child suffers from some physical challenge or lack self-confidence in going about everyday activities. These attractively illustrated picture storybooks encourage kids never to be afraid of a challenge. Following each story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to the book's theme. A final two-page section offers advice to parents. This story's little boy plays on a hockey team, and everybody on the team very much wants to win the championship. But when they forget to play fair, a boy on the opposing team is injured. They feel badly about the accident and come to realize that being a good sport is more important than winning. The story is written entirely in Spanish.

¡Ganar no
es todo!
Todos los miembros del equipo de hockey queramos ganar el campeonato. A menudo, nada parece ser m¡s importante que ganar un juego. Pero cuando olvidamos jugar limpio y un ni±o del equipo contrario qued³ lastimado, nos sentimos muy mal y comprendimos que ganar el campeonato no lo es todo. Ser un buen deportista y jugar limpio es m¡s importante que ganar.
