An exciting report of the internationally renowned Spot Games for children ages 3 and up.The Spot Games are the smallest sports competition in the world, but for the spotted athletes it's still the most important one! Igor has been training very hard this year. Finally he can go to the Spot Games too! In which sport would such a tiny little fellow shine? Pole-vaulting? Ping-pong? Gymnastics? Weight lifting? Crew? Remember, participating in the Spot Games is more important than winning.

PRAISE FOR BOOKS BY GUIDO VAN GENECHTEN: "A quirky counting book that's mostly distinguished by van Genechten's entertaining crew of strong men, acrobats, and jugglers." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY on CIRCUS 123 "Even the very young will understand that there were none to begin with, a notion that may banish at least some nighttime anxiety—and provide bedtime giggles as well." - Publishers Weekly on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "Told mostly through dialogue between parent and child, this picture book starring two charming penguins dispels bedtime fears by replacing them with belief in a father's love." - School Library Journal on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "A universal story about nighttime fears of wild things and the loving reassurance that soothes them." - Booklist on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "The abundance of sounds and repetition of key phrases makes it great for reading aloud." - Kirkus Reviews on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED A "Perfect Picture Book" - Charlotte (NC) Parent on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "A little ghost unapologetically makes the most of being different....Different never looked so appealing." - Kirkus Reviews on GILBERT THE GHOST ""Children will relate to the need for encouragement when braving the world of potential playmates. . . . for libraries wanting winter friendship books to add to the typical lovey-dovey Valentine's Day fare." —School Library Journal on BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FRIEND "In the dark of night, each bird plays its unique tune, and then they collaborate....Simple and sweet." - Kirkus Reviews on THE BIG WOODS ORCHESTRA "Little ones ages 4 and older will relate to this charming tale of Little Snowman Stan, who is told he’s not allowed to move, run and play; to basically stand still and be seen, not heard. Across the cool, illustrated pages, Stan finds his freedom at last. A grand adventure!" - Nashville Parent on LITTLE SNOWMAN STAN
