Steel Legs Duck and Puppy Hike Up a Mountain
The duck with steel legs and her puppy best friend head out on a hike to the mountain. Along the way they run into challenges and a few surprises, and they get through them by working as a team. Stay until the end for the last moment.
What kids can learn
Hiking is hard work, and it's easier with a friend who cheers you on. The duck and the puppy are different in lots of ways, but they keep going together. That's a nice example of teamwork for kids who are starting to play on teams or do group projects at school.
If your family likes to walk or hike, this is also a good time to talk about trail rules for kids: stay with your grown-up, stick to the path, bring water and tell someone if you're tired or hurt.
Talk about it: How did the duck and the puppy help each other? Who would you want to take on a big hike with you?
