Synopsis: 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. Full color.

Review: 4 Stars - Pete the Cat is a laid back story sharing with kids that no matter what might happen along the way that things are still okay. 

With a song to follow along with while reading, Pete shows kids that it’s okay when things change, or accidents happen or even if you step into a huge, giant pile of strawberries in your brand new white shoes. I loved the message that this fun story tells and how laid back and mellow the cat is.

Being a book that we’ve given away as a gift more than I can remember, I can honestly say that here in this house, we love this book. It’s another welcomed addition to the kids’ bookshelves and one that I know will be read over and over again. Perfect for younger kids who love to sing.
