Lucia Lacorte, Poor Sport

Lucia Lacorte loves games. But few friends enjoy playing games with her. When she loses, she cries and yells. And when she wins, its even worse: She dances around and rubs it in. You see, Lucia Lacorte is a very poor sport. Can anyone get through to Lucia and show her that being a good sport is the fun in fun and games? Author Christianne Jones uses humor and a helpful rhyme to teach early learners about the importance of good sportsmanship in this entertaining picture book from the Little Boost series.
