Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes

Pete is one unflappable cat. Whether the buttons of his favorite shirt keep popping off or he’s going to school for the first time, Pete never loses his cool. No matter what little surprises come his way, his motto is: “It’s all good.“ And he usually has a catchy song to sing as he goes through his day! Originally, Pete was a black cat adopted by the artist James Dean. Inspired by his new pet, Dean created a series of paintings starring Pete, painted blue instead of black. When fellow Georgia resident Eric Litwin discovered the paintings at an art gallery, he just knew that he wanted to create a picture book with Pete the Cat. Add one bouncy song and some awesome shoes, and the sing-along, read-aloud phenomenon was born! Loved by parents, teachers, and kids alike, Pete the Cat stories are now available as picture books and early readers. Pete is one cool cat! In this splashy picture-book companion to the rock-and-roll kids’ song, Pete doesn’t let anything keep him from movin’ and groovin’ and singin’ his song. He celebrates the clean whiteness of his four new sneakers as he saunters down the sidewalk, but when he accidentally steps in an enormous pile of strawberries, he readily accepts their new hue: red! Whether his sneakers turn blue or brown or white or wet, it’s all cool for Pete. Kids will love the simple, jazzy text, and its repetitive structure invites reading and singing along. Don’t miss the first and bestselling book in the beloved Pete the Cat series! Pete the Cat goes walking down the street wearing his brand-new white shoes. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as he steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries, and other big messes! But no matter what color his shoes are, Pete keeps movin’ and groovin’ and singing his it’s all good.
