Spider Storch, Rotten Runner

Gina Willner-Pardo (2001), 83 pages
Illustrated by Nick Sharratt
Audience: 2nd Grade - 5th Grade
Get ready for the Third-Grade Olympics! The events are basketball, long jump, jump rope, and the relay race. The teams are France, Antarctica, Greece, and Ireland. Everybody's excited, except for Spider who is terrible at running, really terrible, so bad that just thinking about it practically makes him sick. Besides that, his good friend, Zachary, is picking on him because he's such a terrible runner. Their teacher tells the class that it isn't about winning; it's about being a team and doing your best. Could the teacher be right?
