About the book
The annual spring 'Race-a-thon' is approaching, and Steve can't wait. He wins every year, and Steve loves winning! Sure, horses have physical advantages over other animals when it comes to running. But that just proves how exceptionally talented he is. So imagine Steve's concern when he discovers this year's race is going to be a relay, and that he's been teamed up with turtle, duck and snail! He can't possibly win now. Unless ... he's got it! He'll coach his teammates! In fact, he'll be the Best. Coach. Ever. From Kelly Collier's hilarious Steve the Horse early graphic-novel series, here's a tale about sportsmanship that will have readers roaring with laughter. Nearly always wrong about everything in life, the full-of-himself Steve is one of those standout flawed characters with enormous appeal. The story takes some edge-of-your-seat turns as Steve learns the hard(ish) way that there's more than one kind of winner in life. This book makes a great discussion-starter on how we think about failure and winning. It also teaches excellent character-education lessons on teamwork and inclusiveness.
