Description/Notes
Inch and Miles have one final assignment before summer vacation begins. Their wise teacher, Mr. Wooden, has asked them the meaning of success. Using a magic silver whistle, Inch and Miles set out on a journey to discover the blocks of the Pyramid of Success and learn how to try, 100%, to be their personal best. From Axelrod the Ant, who teaches the two the value of Hard Work, to Albert the Alligator, who stresses Confidence, Inch and Miles meet 14 characters representing values with a certain guarantee of Success. When Inch and Miles have completed their journey and returned to the classroom, they understand when Mr. Wooden says, Success isn?t having trophies or toys. It isn?t a medal or friends of your choice. What is Success? That?s easy to see. It?s trying to be the best you can be! Don?t worry what others may have or might say. When trying your best, success comes your way. Based upon Coach John Wooden?s Pyramid of Success, Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success delivers a gentle message about the personal greatness that lives within all of us. Coach and teacher John Wooden is a towering figure in 20th-century American sports. His UCLA basketball teams virtually created ?March Madness? in amassing 10 national championships, 7 in a row; along with 4 perfect seasons; an 88-game winning streak; and 38 straight victories in tournament play. Sports Illustrated says, ?There has never been a finer man in American sports, or a finer coach.? Coach Wooden has two children, seven grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren.
