Otis and Charley Play to Win

We all love the children in our lives (whether they are ours or a friend or family members'). We want to teach them right from wrong and the best way to grow up to have fulfilling lives.The only way to do that is to get the right messages in their programming as soon as we can.That's what this book does! The message is easily received by children of different age groups. (My 3 year old and my 5 year old both understand the moral of the story). My oldest child loves the book and has me read it often!I'm proud to live in a country when people like the authors of this book are able to get good quality content out for the youth of America. This type of material sets them up for success and not a life of feeling victimized and offended by everything.

I bought this book because I have listened to Andy’s podcast. He talks about a lot of different things on there and mentioned the book line. After reading it with both of my boys ages 7 and 9, they instantly understood the meaning. They both understood the value of working hard and the value of keeping score. Not to make the other team feel bad, but to improve yourself. My younger son actually took this book to school and read it to his classroom. He understood and loved it so much he wanted to share it. This book and book line has not only positively affected our lives but it has already spread to all the other children in my sons class. This is the easiest, simplest and fastest way to get your children to understand the concepts of hard work, effort, and why you help others.If your care about your children and their future, buy these books and read them with your kids!

My 3 year old loves these books! Cute stories with great lessons!

Dont let this book fool you, it is an amazing kids book that throws away the participation trophy and makes you feel good about winning AND LOSING. What better concept to teach to your kids to improve upon themselves, whether they win or lose everyday? Otis and Charley may be kids books but they will teach anyone that reads them, adults included.

My wife read the kid's sports book to my children before Saturday morning's soccer game and my 3 year old had the best game I've seen him play this year. My 5 year old scored 2 goals, rotating from the front back to defense and we beat the other team around 8 to 3. They were the only team we've lost to in 4 seasons.I'm not saying the book did all that. But it's a good book written by someone who knows about mental toughness, and how to help snowflakes overcome self-pitty and get motivated!

Enjoyable read for the kids ... and while some may disagree, its a mindset booster for your young one. It may go against what they’re being taught in daycare or school, but a little mindset direction like this will set them up for success later. I definitely enjoyed it !

Our girls LOVE this book. Our four year old just learned to read and asks to read it to us every night before bed!She has even started telling both of her sisters that it’s ok to lose, but that they need to accept it and try again using a different “strategy” than before. (Yes, she uses the word strategy)I can’t wait for the day to come when they are able to abstract that idea and apply it to more than just games and sports.Well done Andy!

Bought these books for my Godson. He loves them and shares them with his other siblings.I love Andy Frisella, Vaughn and listen to MFCEO all the time. I truly believe we need to give the children the proper message at a young age. You can't always win, you don't always need a trophy. Let's raise children to have confidence, treat people right and fight for what they want. So much value in a great book!Thanks for writing these books guys!

I am a sports guy. Played competitive sports my whole life. This book is nothing short of amazing. My boy is 4 and has a will to compete and already hates losing. This book not only teaches children that playing sports is not only about winning but about trying your best and getting better by working your own game. It teaches losing is not OK and the importance of keeping score. My boy loves it and we love it as young parents. Good ol old school teachings with a little new age lessons as well. Nice work Mr. Frisella!!

The 'Otis & Charley The Bulldogs' series is the best kids books series going around. Even though it's expensive to ship them to Australia, it's the best investment for early life lesson teaching for your child. Our baby is not earthside yet, but we still read these books to the baby daily!

Definitely something I want my kids to be learning about... not just from my example. Though this book wouldn't counteract that if I was a terrible example :)
