Book Description
Pellie is a little duck who takes the reader through the work and the smiles of 26.2 miles. In running a marathon, Pellie learns lessons that both children and adults can appreciate. Her feet get heavy and the race gets long.
But Pellie keeps on going.
She even sings a song. A little voice says,
"You can do it!"
And Pellie keeps on running. . . . She runs, runs, runs.
She runs right to it. Pellie finishes a marathon!

Pellie teaches the importance of not giving up and doing your best, even if your best is not being the winner. She sends a powerful message to children about setting goals and achieving them even when it is difficult to do so. The pace of the book engages children in the story and by the end they are chanting the refrain with the reader.A great book to encourage fitness and goal setting with kids from pre-readers to emerging readers.
What a great role model! January 4, 2004
This little duck is a great role model for adults and children alike! She perseveres through the 26+ mile run and celebrates her accomplishment at the end - it's not about winning, just about finishing! I highly recommend this book for preschool teachers, coaches, and parents.
