Customer Reviews

Great for children and adults

We really enjoyed this story, because it is such a good example of how you must work to accomplish your goals. Since George procrastinated and did not prepare for his big race the outcome was not what he would have wished. The pictures are charming, and George is so typical of all of us. We are buying this book, so that our children, (as well as the adults) can be reminded from time to time to do the work today and not tomorrow.
