Squish Captain Disaster
Holm, J. L., Holm, M. (2012). Squish Captain Disaster. NY: Random House.
It is time for soccer! Squish and all of his friends are on the same team, the Waterfleas. Squish is appointed captain by the coach and his teammates. The Waterfleas suck. They are not winning any games. No one seems to mind because they are having fun. Squish knows winning isn’t everything, but he wants it anyway. He comes up a plan and presents it to his team. They follow the plan and start winning games. Squish is excited. Everyone else decide to quit because no one else is getting the ball. They are no longer having fun. Squish listens to the concerns and decides to go back to letting everyone have a chance at the ball. They start losing again but, his team is happy. At the end of the season they are number 4.
This is a fun book, I recommend it for elementary kids. It teaches winning isn’t everything. You can learn just as much from losing.
