Fans of Arthur can take their reading to the next level with this illustrated chapter book featuring themes of empathy and teamwork when Francine learns that her competitive nature is hurting a friend’s feelings.

It’s recess and the game of the day is kickball! Francine loves kickball because she is always team captain and her team always wins. She finds herself frustrated when she gets stuck with George on her team and always picks him last. He has many strengths but kickball is not one of them. When the class is tested on their other skills, Francine learns what it feels like to not be picked for something. Will this be enough to get her to change her ways as a cutthroat kickball captain?
