Kid Coach is going to whip his coach potato dad into shape. Once Dad starts winning, however, he becomes an insufferable poor-winner. Looks like Kids Coach has some more work to do.
Everything was so cute about this book – up to the last two pages. Then it falls back to offering food as consolation, instead of accepting a sincere apology. WHY?! From very fun illustrations to a well paced story line, Justus had it made in the shade until he went for the wrong final hook just in order to continue the coach potato theme.
