And one more time for us adults:

Who Will Win the Race?
By Amara Maddux

Chapter 1 – The Start of the Race
“On your mark, get set, go!” the judge cried. Joshu takes the lead.
There are some rocks up ahead of Joshu.
Joshu falls. Oh no! The other robots are already far ahead of Joshu.

Chapter 2 – Will Joshu Win?
Josh hits his fast button and zooms.
And then he wins the race!
