Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns Sportsmanship – Review & Giveaway ends 4/30

in Z Archived Closed on 04/10/12

Powered by Mom and Bloggity Blog have teamed up to bring you a wonderful Giveaway!

We will be giving away 2 copies of this wonderful book Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns Sportsmanship by Howard Binkow

Powered by Mom’s Review

This book is a must have for teachers, parents and well any adult whose involved with children and wants to help them learn about sportsmanship. The book is beautifully illustrated so that the colors and pictures themselves alone would catch the attention of any child. It’s perfect children in the 4-8 year old range to be read to or to learn to read themselves as the writing is direct, clear and suited for that age range.

I had my 10 year old daughter Sian read it to a friend’s daughter Dakota who is 6 years old. Having her do this worked out beautifully she had the 6 year old’s attention and I could tell by watching them that Dakota was interested in looking at the pictures too. There were a few giggles here and there and a comment about Harold being a bad sport (at the beginning of the story) which was wonderful because that meant that the message of the story was getting through.

I think it’s a very well written book that teaches children the lesson about being a good sport in a fun way and captures their attention through the wonderful illustrations.

I’m not the only one who thinks it’s a wonderful book. Here are but a few quotes from people who have sent in their reviews about this book. I love the one from the first grader. You can see more reviews HERE

Quote# 1

Thank you for writing to us to be respectful for other people. –Ilia, First grader, Sherman Oaks, California

Quote# 2

My students didn’t have a grasp of the word “sportsmanship” before we started reading the book. They thought it was just “play nice”, “do your best,” and even “try hard to always win.” After reading the book, we had great conversation and they did a drawing/write about how they could be a good sport and use sportsmanship. They did some great work; we made a class book which they love to read. It’s very important to teach them the correct vocabulary, like “sportsmanship”

The website where you can find out more about the series of the Harold B. Wigglebottom book is wonderful to visit. They have animated books posted online in addition to songs, games, and you can print your own coloring book too!

Check it out HERE.

The Harold B. Wigglebottom Learns Sportmanship gets a two thumbs up from Powered by Mom.

    I would love the sportsmanship book. I am a school counselor and often use the howard books.
    They are great and the kids love the lessons.

    I often thinking he emphasis has shifted to just winning instead of good sportsmanship.

    My dad taught us to be good sports no matter win or lose. That lesson has stuck with me throughout my life

    I have 2 books that I think my kids would like. The first is the book about sportmanship. All of my kids are in sports, and I would want them to know about being able to lose like a winner. The second is the book about the monkey on his back-telling the truth. I know having you kids, too often they do not tell the truth.

    Hm….I actually have always been a strong advocate for GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP! I would shake the hands of all my competitors and when I was a track official I would disqualify athletes who were unsportsmanlike!

    I dont know that sportmanship was such a problem when I was a child, but now I see parents with poor sportsmanship which trickles down to children. There is too much emphasis on winning

    Learns to Listen is my favorite of the Howard books. I’m an elementary school counselor always on the lookout for good quality books to teach sportsmanship skills & concepts. I use Howard several times during the year to teach social skills.

    Oh,yes! I was a terrible bad sport when I was a kid! I would cry if I lost at any game, especially Monopoly. Maybe that’s why I don’t like to play it now. I didn’t cheat, though. I just played “drama queen” when I lost.

We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC.
