📚 Teachers & Homeschool Educators — A New Classroom Adventure is Coming! 🌏🚣‍♂️

What happens when a youth dragon boat team travels to Australia for an international regatta?

They discover a lot more than racing.

In Paddling Pete and the Race Down Under, students follow Pete the sock monkey and the Heartbeat Dragons as they explore teamwork, wildlife conservation, Indigenous storytelling, and leadership while training with a junior Australian dragon boat team.

Paddling Pete and the Race Down…

Along the way, readers encounter:

🌊 Real dragon boat teamwork and leadership lessons
🐢 A wildlife rescue that shows how small choices protect nature
⭐ A cultural story about the Seven Sisters and listening to others
🪃 Hands-on cultural experiences like boomerangs and didgeridoo
🌍 Geography and global friendship themes

Just like the earlier Paddling Pete books, this one includes teacher-friendly learning materials designed to help bring the story into the classroom.

✔ Reading comprehension prompts
✔ Discussion questions about teamwork and leadership
✔ Geography and culture connections
✔ Activities tied to wildlife and environmental stewardship

If you're looking for a fun chapter book that blends adventure with real-world learning, Pete might be a great addition to your classroom library.

I remember these!! So simple but cute!

Remember those popcorn plastic Santa and reindeer decorations that always seemed to magically appear every Christmas? They didn’t light up, they didn’t move, but somehow, they made the whole house feel festive.
