Good Sportsmanship Is Fun is a children's book where Badsport Bob cheats and is rude and therefore none of the other Goodness Gracious Club kids want to play with him. Finally, when Bob is reduced to tears because he's all by himself, Jason saves the day by teaching him proper manners in sports. Jason shows him to politely wait his turn, to share encouraging words, and to congratulate his opponent when they do well. Bob finally absorbs these lessons and goes on to practice good manners while playing nicely with the other children who end up throwing him a cake party.
