I love Pete the Cat!  This is another winner I found on the “new release shelf” at the library.  Pete is enjoying his new white shoes.  He is singing a song about them as he goes for a walk until he encounters some strawberries.  Needless to say, the shoes are soon not white…

The delightful sing song rhyming found in the book allows it to be read as a story or more of a song and takes the reader on a wonderful journey with Pete and his shoes.  The best part is the way in which Pete handles unexpected change.  He teaches children and adults alike the power of resiliency and the importance of  keeping things in perspective.  A great book for a read aloud for little kids as well as big ones.  It doesn’t get much better than Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes!  A new favorite has been found…
