Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes: A Back to School Book for Kids

I could give these books a million stars. My nephew is autistic and while he's incredibly intelligent, reading is not his favorite subject, and he is falling behind. These books and their songs have made reading so fun for him that he can't put them down. I found out before Christmas that he had been borrowing one from school without telling anyone. Once I found that out I knew I had to get him his own books. I got him New School Shoes and Saves Christmas. Without a doubt I am going to have to buy more.

These books are fantastic!!!

My grandson loves Pete the Cat! Fun stories with bright colorful illustrations. A great buy.

Excellent book for kindergarten children to begin reading

My 2.5 year old son loves the Pete the Cat books. Wish they had a board book option, but hardcover helps. His teachers at daycare read these books to their class, so he came home asking for these books at home. Has not stopped reading them since (demands to have me leave one in his crib when I put him to bed, so he can try to read to himself). Check out the YouTube videos for the songs -- so cute, he sings them all the time.

This book went over well in my preschool class. Cute story

I have taught Pre-K for the last four years, and I must say, what a delight to have found this book!This book will serve really well for the beginning of the year. We usually use The Kissing Hand, but I will be using this book as an intro to tour around the school.I love the moral of the story - that no matter what happens in life, it's "all good." The kids are going to love shouting "Goodness, no!" to the repetitive question "Does Pete worry?" I can see myself using that question during class when the children get into situations that make them feel sad or mad. :)I love how there is an MP3 to the book, with the song, on the publisher's site!! I also bought the doll too.Both Pete the Cat books will really kick start a new year of Pre-K with great attitude and fun!The illustrations are simple and colourful and pleasing to the eye. This book is definitely a treasure for Pre-K teachers!! The story is cute and engaging. Perfect for 3 and 4 year olds!

Great back to school book for grandsons. Fun to read and share
