Book 1 in The Adventures of Paddling Pete Series
A funny sock monkey. A dragon boat team. One unforgettable race.
Pete isn't your average sock monkey. He's curious, clever, and full of heart-even if he sometimes gets tangled in tape or sails through a laundry chute by mistake.
When Pete stows away with a dragon boat team, he's determined to help them prepare for their big race. The team doesn't know he's there, but that doesn't stop Pete from trying to fix what he thinks they need-from adjusting paddles to organizing gear (with mixed results). His secret adventures are filled with mischief, teamwork, and a few banana peels.
As race day approaches, Pete begins to realize that even small actions can make a big difference-and that being part of a team means more than just solving problems. It's about cheering from the sidelines, doing your best, and believing you belong.
Perfect for ages 6-12, this illustrated chapter book blends laugh-out-loud moments with a heartwarming message about self-worth, quiet courage, and the magic of finding your place-just the way you are.
Features:
A sweet and silly story full of adventure
Black-and-white illustrations in every chapter
A bonus nonfiction section on dragon boating
Great for early independent readers, classrooms, and read-alouds
Paddling Pete and the Heartbeat Dragons is the first in a lovable new series where one small sock monkey learns big lessons-with humor, heart, and plenty of duct tape.
