  1. Rachel Inbar for Readers’ Favorite

    Corrine’s Team by Dayle Dabney tells the story of a fish named Corinne, who is the best swimmer in Lavender Lake. She decides to put together a team, as she enjoys both swimming and teaching. Several fish come to try out: Yellow Flipper, whose front fins never grew properly; Pink Dots, who has poor vision; Silver Stripe, who has a scar. Corrine encourages each fish to try out, stressing that their best is all they need to do. By the end of the day, she has put together the “Lavender Lappers” who spend their days practicing for the big championship swim meet. When the big day arrives, each fish that competes fails to surpass the fish on the other team, concerned that they have disappointed both themselves and the others. Corrine is encouraging and reminds them that what was expected was for them to do their best – which they had done.

    Dayle Dabney’s book Corrine’s Team, illustrated by the Headline Kids Group, is a delightful book that teaches children important values, particularly to do your best and be a good sport. The brightly colored illustrations make each page fun to look at. The book doesn’t hesitate to show characters with physical flaws or ones who don’t excel. Instead, it puts the spotlight on what’s important. Trying, persevering, working together, and being proud of one’s efforts – regardless of the result. I believe that children reading or listening to this book will easily identify with the characters’ imperfections and will remember the lesson that trying is more important than succeeding.
