“Lucia Lacorte, Poor Sport” has the sweetest narrative and the most darling illustrations by Madrid-based artist Marisa Morea.

In this charming book for readers ages 6-8, temperamental llama Lucia Lacorte (oh, what a face!) loves games. But her few friends don’t want to play with her because she cries and yells when she loses and gloats when she wins. You see, Lucia Lacorte is a very poor sport. Can anyone get through to her and show her that being a good sport is the fun in fun and games?

Author Christianne Jones uses good humor and helpful rhymes to teach early learners about good sportsmanship in this colorful and highly recommended addition to the Little Boost series. 5/5

Cute illustrations and a good message about sportsmanship and manners make this a good choice. There's nothing really new here, but an endearing llama face will definitely get kids' attention.
