Description

An uplifting sports story with a positive message, as well as a fun and friendly introduction to the insect world. Three cheers for Ambrose! It's the day of the Great Insect Games and Ambrose is desperate to win a gold medal—he's been practicing very hard. But when the grasshopper jumps further and the pond skater skates faster, it looks as though Ambrose will never win anything. But with a little determination and the help of his friends, Ambrose soon discovers that everyone is good at something.
