My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy from Smith Publicity. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
Polly Pivot likes to golf but when she goes to golf camp, she starts to overthink what she’s doing and she loses her MOJO. After she goes home, she considers what happened and comes up with “One, Two, Follow Through” which she tries the next day and it works!
The motto one, two, follow through is something that not only works in golf and other sports, but it works in our lives as well. It’s a good lesson for children to make things simple. The story also encourages them to try golfing which is something that they can participate in for many years to come.
One, Two, Follow Through is a fun book to read. It’s told in rhymes and the illustrations are cute and colorful. Several of them made me giggle, and I’m sure children will love them.
