Go, Pete, Go!

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the pressure of competition or feels discouraged because they aren't the fastest or the best at a new skill. It is a perfect choice for kids who tend to give up when they fall behind, or for those who need a reminder that the joy of an activity is more important than the trophy at the end. In this groovy reimagining of the classic Tortoise and the Hare fable, Pete the Cat enters a race against Turtle. While Turtle zooms ahead in a flashy car, Pete pedals his bicycle, taking in the scenery and enjoying the breeze. The story emphasizes resilience and self-confidence, showing children that staying true to your own pace is its own kind of victory. It is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating the social dynamics of winning and losing.
