Review I love this book. It teaches resilience and has a positive, carefree vibe. Everyone seems to love this cool cat, except for the professional reviewers. That surprised me. I’ve had so many kids beg for “Pete the Cat” books. Kids think the cat is cool. Parents like that it reassures kids by teaching them that, even though things seem bad, everything will be okay. This book is awesome (Flock, 2017). Themes Colors Shoes Cats Resilience Acceptance Positivity Application This particular title was always a favorite at the Music and Motion Storytime I used to run. I highly recommend it for Storytime purposes. It’s catchy and practically begs for call-and-response interactions to spontaneously occur. It could be used for a themed Storytime about colors, cats, or life lessons. It can also be enjoyed by a parent and their child.
