Yay, Us! Pete the Cat Rocking Field Day by Kimberly and James Dean

The sun is BRIGHT and the grass is GREEN. It's a great day for ... FIELD DAY!

LAST YEAR, PETE'S TEAM CAME IN THIRD PLACE.

HE WANTS TO WIN FIRST PLACE THIS YEAR!

Pete wears his red tee, his red headband, and of course, his good-luck red shoes.

The teams line up for the first competition, the baton pass relay race. On the other team are Alligator, Marty the monkey, Squirrel and Turtle.

OH, NO! Squirrel is faster than anyone and hands the baton to Turtle, who crosses the finish line first! Pete knows that they have to try harder, and in the water balloon toss, Pete and Callie win for their team.

The teams are tied, and Pete knows that he still has a chance to earn a medal. But can Pete and his team win the next three events?

Pete's team is fired up! They win the rope pull, and Pete aces the obstacle course. Pete knows he'll get a medal if he can just win the egg-carry race.

Will Pete's hand stay steady...

Or will his nerves (and the egg) crack? OOPS!

It's a tie for the two teams, and Pete has to accept his medallion with a bit of (metaphorical) egg on his face, in Kimberly and James Dean's Pete the Cat: Rocking Field Day (I Can Read Level 1) (Harper I-Can-Read Books.

Everyone is the winner when youngsters become eager readers, and as Pete always says, "It's all good!" And everybody's a winner when the class has a great day outside and when kids can read about the games all by themselves in this winning I-Can-Read easy reader book.
