Pete the Cat: I Love my White Shoes is available to be placed on hold or checked out.
The bright colors and simple pictures make this story a fun and easy read. Older children and adults will appreciate the message of not worrying about the small things in life. They will also enjoy Pete’s simple silly song about his shoes. Young children will love learning their colors as Pete’s shoes change color. He keeps walking along and singing his song:
Pete doesn’t get upset when his shoes get dirty. At the end he steps in water and his shoes become white again. Each item that he steps in changes his shoes to that color. He steps in blueberries, strawberries, and mud. Pete loves his new white shoes, but he keeps getting them dirty. Looking for your next read?

Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 6, 2023!. Everything is drawn or glued directly onto the blue felt piece except for the shirt, buttons and the inner middle piece of the shirt. Some prefer gluing the tippy top of the middle piece to prevent losing it even though the felt top should stick securely to Pete’s felt body. Glue the whole shirt except for the piece in the middle so that the middle piece can be lifted up to show the stomach and the “button”-the story’s finale. Cut the buttons out of felt (but do not glue them so that they can be “popped”off at the appropriate places in the story). 
With the glitter glue, draw Pete’s body on the blue felt as show in the illustration. White, yellow, blue, red, orange, and pink pieces of felt. The story itself is appealing as it has a singing component that repeats throughout the story. It is great for number development, learning about clothing and positional words. This activity is based on the book by the same title. The extension activity is an alternative way of telling a story instead of just using the book itself.Īctivity: Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons (Adapted from: ) This is a getting dressed / clothes-themed project for toddlers and preschoolers.
