A very cute book that teaches children what it takes to achieve your goals and be fit and healthy. Little Sue starts off as a bit lazy, sitting on the couch all day. But when the school announces a race, she wants to be the winner. Because of her lazy habits, she is not prepared to win but her dad helps her and teaches her what it takes to be ready: Exercise, healthy food, good sleep, fun and to be persistent. Sue ends up winning the race and learns good lessons. This good story and message is illustrated with lovely, colored pencil drawings. They are engaging, fun and nicely done. I recommend this book for any kid, it has valuable lessons and its a lot of fun.
