Dean, Kimberly and James Dean Pete the Cat and his Magic Sunglasses Harper, 2013.
$17.99 PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Pete the cat is having a sad day until Grumpy Toad comes along and gives
Pete his blue sunglasses. Toad tells
Pete that he will see things in a new way when he puts on the glasses and it’s
true. Pete sees the birds singing and
the bright sun. Pete goes on his
skateboard and comes across other animals who are having bad days too, so he
shares his sunglasses with them to help them be happy. Eventually, Pete falls and breaks his
glasses, but Owl explains that you can choose to look for the good in every
day.
This is a simple book with
repetitive phrases and parts that are predictable, but the overall message of
finding good in the day is clear for young readers. The bright and colorful pictures are
appealing and add to the positive message.
