The Book

“My legs are long,

My knees are strong,

But my butt needs something

to move it along!”

This is a delightful book that kids will love. The determined hero tries hard to get in shape as he enters into a cross-country race.

On your mark, get set...GO! He's ready...he's steady... and it's blast off time! But...he quickly discovers that he is coming in last because his butt is so slow. Oh no! What can he do?

He tries different ideas that might give him an advantage and win the race. Would these things work if he attaches them to his butt: a big shiny engine? a kite? balloons? a swarm of bees? some strategic exercises, and many more? Will any of his imaginative and creative ideas cause him to be the winner?

This book will have kids giggling and entertained from beginning to end. I highly, highly recommend it as well as the whole series.
