What is Ambrose goes for gold about?

It is the day of the Great Insect Games, and Ambrose is eager to win a gold medal. He has practised hard, but the grasshopper jumps further, the pond skater swims faster and other insects beat him in every event. Feeling disappointed, Ambrose nearly gives up. With encouragement from his friends, he discovers that everyone has their own special talent. A lively and funny story about perseverance, self-belief and finding the right way to shine.
