Bookroo's summary

Gilbert and Lola eagerly await their cousin Wally's visit for the Easter egg hunt. But Wally's fierce competitiveness threatens to ruin the fun as he races to be the best, regardless of others' feelings. Gilbert, the clever opossum, must find a way to show Wally the true meaning of sportsmanship. Will he succeed in teaching Wally a lesson about kindness and fair play, or will Wally's relentless drive spoil the holiday spirit? Discover how Gilbert handles this challenge in a tale filled with humor and heart.

From the publisher

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Cousin Wally always has to be the first and the best at everything, even the neighborhood Easter egg hunt! But when Wally’s competitiveness crossed the line into just plain meanness, it’s up to Gilbert to teach him a valuable lesson.
