Illustrated by
Tracy Bishop.
A little girl tries and gives up on biking, ballet, and karate. After sage advice from Mom, she has a change of heart: "and with my newly-opened mind, / decided that I'm never... / ...going to be the quitting kind." Though the message-y story isn't particularly exciting, humorous illustrated scenes and (so-so) rhymes with words such as potty and heinie provide amusing moments.
