Kelsey's a typical fourth-grader. She likes to hang out with her
friends, play games, and do all the standard stuff.
But there's one thing about Kelsey that really gets her into trouble -
she HATES to lose!
So much so that she is not afraid to cheat, throw a tantrum, or just act
like a poor sport!
And not only is she a sore loser, she's a terrible winner!
When Kelsey's poor sportsmanship - or SportsGirlShip, as she likes to
call it - causes her basketball team to lose a close game, makes her
siblings refuse to play with her, and has her friends looking at her
differently, she soon realizes she needs to change her ways.
Fortunately, Kelsey's coach and mom are there to teach her the
importance of being a good sport, and winning and losing with class.
Kelsey learns that practicing good sportsgirlship can help her have more
fun playing any game, whether she's winning or losing!
Whether kids experience winning or losing, such situations offer great
opportunities for parents and educators to use the tips included at the
end of the story.
