Gloria Goes for Gold by Annabel Tempest
Get into the Olympic spirit this summer with Gloria Goes for Gold! A perfect poolside read for young children. Gloria is from a family of synchronized swimmers. They are gifted, graceful, and even groovy, and together they ALWAYS win gold at the Artistic Swimming Championships. But Gloria dreams of a prize she doesn't have to share. So, when the Savannah Games come to town, Gloria decides to find a sport she can win all by herself! After dabbling in sprinting, gymnastics, and swimming, it dawns on Gloria that competing solo is rather lonely. She misses her family, but is it too late for her to fill the Gloria-sized hole in their team? Get ready for Gloria to make a splash, as this ambitious hippo learns that winning gold might not be the best prize at all.
"Priceless pictures by Annabel Tempest are for me the real winners in this book.. it's important for children to see that it's participation and doing one's best that really count the most and Marina Firth's telling shows this in a fun, non-didactic way." * Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub *
"A delightful story, one to make you laugh and smile!" * Erin Hamilton, My Shelves are Full *

Marina Firth lives in Hertfordshire, UK, where she takes inspiration from the nature around her. She likes to make up animal stories about the critters that visit her allotment, from the hungry mice who munch all her strawberries, to the local snake, who thankfully keeps a distance!
