[Kristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good book for beginner readers. I thought that the story was cute and I think that the message is a good one for younger readers to understand. There were a few challenging words but overall it was a cute book. I would recommend this book to others,

Taught important lessons about having fun while practicing and when a mistake is made.

This book did a good job of showing that sometimes it is okay to just have fun instead of worrying about being the best.

A good beginning-reader-level story with a simple message. And the message isn't over-done.
