You caught me. It's children's literature. But WAIT! I promise, you will love Pete too, when you get to know him. After all, I stayed up until midnight last night with about ten friends - coloring. With crayons. Wonders never cease.
So embrace your inner child and check out this book. It's nominated for a Missouri Building Block Award this year, and it's my pick for the winner. If you have kids, or work with kids, or you think you will ever talk to a kid sometime in your life, Pete the Cat is a good friend to have - if your kid hasn't met him, they will love you for the introduction.
Ok, I'm overselling.
I could read you the story of Pete the Cat and his brand-new white shoes...but I'd rather let these two do it. They're cuter than me. (And that's saying something!)
And in case you didn't catch it at the end: "The moral of the story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song. Because it's all good."
Happy Thursday!
And I promise that my next post will not be a review. For serious!
ReplyDeleteWell that's just adorable. Now I know what I'm going to be singing whenever I put on my shoes!
ReplyDeleteI love the almost Greek chorus effect of the other little girl.
ReplyDelete"What color did it turn his shoes? ... Brown!"
"BROOOOOOWWWWNNN!"
"Did Pete cry? Goodness no!"
"GOODNESS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I also relate to memorizing the story before I learned to read.
