Sally’s Dad Is a Bad Loser

By Thorbjørn Christoffersen Thomas Brunstrøm

Do you know Sally’s Dad?

It’s not always easy being Sally. Because Sally’s dad is both embarrassing and silly, and then he comes up with the most far-fetched ideas. But luckily, Sally and little brother Eddie know how to handle their dad. And actually, Sally’s dad is pretty funny too. At least if you ask him.
Sally’s dad can overtake anyone on his bike. He is also the fastest runner and he is the one who can hold the most sweets in his mouth at once. Every time he wins, he brags like crazy. It is rather annoying!

When Sally complains, her dad just calls her a bad loser. It’s really about time that Sally puts her foot down. But first, she has to find a way to win over him. And actually that turns out to be harder than she thought.
