About this book

4 titles in this great collection – Pete the Cat and the New Guy, Pete the Cat Rocking and His Magic Sunglasses, Pete the Cat and the Bedtime Blues, and Pete the Cat and the Missing Cupcakes

Pete is one unflappable cat. This groovy kitty keeps his cool…even when he’s overtired or grumpy or figuring out the ups and downs of friendship. 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.
