Win-Or-Lose Sam - Paperback

by Sandra Fenichel Asher (Author)

12+, any gender; cast may be expanded as desired

The barnyard animals eat, sleep, and breathe the game of melonball. There are chants. There are leagues. It's a way of life, really. Piglet Sam loves the game, but goat Bobbie never chooses Sam to play. Undaunted, Sam remains a devoted fan, attending games early and late, rain or shine, win or lose - and never fails to record team statistics on charts kept at home. The day comes when the Moore Farm melonball team is invited to compete in the prestigious Fruit Bowl, provided they can supply their team data. But they've never kept records! They don't even know they have a resident statistician. "A statis-what?" Only Sam can save the day, and Sam does indeed save the day.

WIN-OR-LOSE SAM is an exuberant ensemble piece that celebrates all the ways humans (and barnyard animals) can contribute using their unique strengths. You don't have to be an athlete, sports fan, statistician, bench-sitter, or bully to enjoy this romp--all are welcome. And that, as Sam knows, is the whole point. It's a perfect springtime melonball morning!
