Sally Sore Loser: A Story About Winning and Losing Paperback – Picture Book, August 1, 2012

I bought this hoping to help teach my 5 year old son that he doesn’t have to cry and have a meltdown each time he isn’t first, or doesn’t win. He loved the book! Great story and great illustrations!

My kids really love this book and seem to relate. I feel like this is a very realistic depiction of what happens at school and how their friends might react. It also give really great examples of how to react instead. They won’t stop asking me to read it since it arrived.

Like magic, we read this book last night and my 6 year old just did a board games with me and didn't throw the expected fit when he lost! I can't say of it will work for all children or if the lesson will stick, but it worked wonders and right away for my child.

Read this book to my class to reinforce positive behavior and emotion management and it was great

I loved this story. It is perfect in teaching kids how to be a good winner and loser! IT has a great one liner in it that I had my social skills kids memorize. Now, when we play games, we focus on that one liner!Perfect for: School psychologists, teachers: special ed and general ed, therapists, psychologists, mental health agencies, P.E. teachers/coaches. Parents.

This is a good book for lower to upper elementary level (grades 2 - 5) . I did use it in a kindergarten class but students had some difficulty sitting through the length of the book and understanding some of the meanings of words.

I can’t review it because it was a gift to my friend Addy!

Our kid loves it and is a good book for school age kids who are an age where they are very competitive.

We now call bad losers Sally in this house

Good kids book to show kids what it’s like when they’re being a sore loser and how they should accept losing and winning.

My Daughter 4.5 years Loves it and so do I - recommend this book.

Good approach

I really like this book. This, along with another, has been a great aid in helping my autistic son, who always wants to win, that he will sometimes lose and he MUST congratulate the person who does win. The illustrations are nice, the whole book gives a good explanation of why other kids don't want to play with sore losers etc. I don't like the end saying though ' I've won if I've had fun'. I think this should have been worded differently as my son goes round saying I won I won because I had fun, whereas he didn't win, he came second lol!!
