Pete the Cat

Pete the Cat

Have you heard of Pete the Cat?  He is one of my new favorite story book characters.  Perfect for a cause and effect or color word unit.  In the stories Pete steps in a variety of different things including mud, blueberries, and water- but does Pete cry?  Goodness No!  He just keeps walking along singing his song: "I love my brown (blue, wet, etc.) shoes.  I have read this book with Kindergarten, First and Second graders and they have loved him!  Currently Scholastic is hosting a contest to design Pete's new shoes with the winner getting a visit from Eric Litwin the author!  Find the information here.  

I made a page of my favorite Pete the Cat videos here.  Enjoy!
