Mickey is "short and sturdy and quick"; his best friend Longjohn is "tall and thin and speedy." In this true-to-life story, the boys' close friendship is tested during their school's Field Day when only one of them can win the fifty-yard dash. Much detail is packed into compact, colorful illustrations, which depict children enjoying a favorite day at school and learning about good sportsmanship.
