MONDAY: Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin


Summary
Pete the Cat is crazy about shoes. In this story, Pete is so excited about his white shoes, he can't help but sing a song. But Pete isn't very careful about where he walks, and soon his white shoes have changed to red shoes, blue shoes and brown shoes. But it is "all good."

Review
I read Pete the Cat to my elementary students during their first week in the library and they can't wait to be able to check his books out themselves. They sang along with Pete's song and chuckled about him walking through all sorts of things that changed the color of his shoes. After reading Pete 14 times in one week, I found myself singing his little song as I looked for my shoes one morning. Pete is a hit - I will buy and share any books that join this series.

4.5 out of 5 stars

Recommended for: classroom reading, library reading, home libraries. My pre-K students enjoyed Pete, as did my older elementary students.

Cautions: none

Special note: You can order a stuffed Pete the Cat at this website along with some other fun stuffed critters from fun books.
