Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin

Do you want a way to turn your child’s frustration into a smile? Try Pete the Cat. All you will have to do is sing, "I love my blue shoes, I love my blue shoes . . ." and that frustration just might turn into a smile.


Pete is a mellow cat who gets a new pair of white shoes and he LOVES his white shoes so much that he bursts into song. As he is walking along singing his "new shoes" song, he steps into a large pile of strawberries changing his new, white shoes a different color. But does Pete get upset and cry when his new shoes are not white anymore? Well, you will have to read this book to find out! Pete the Cat gets across a message about being positive no matter what happens, and it does it without being preachy. The fun and funky illustrations are based on art by James Dean, one of Georgia’s own. Great story to read aloud and great illustrations make this one great book and an instant favorite for your family! You can go online to harpercollinschildrens.com and download this fun song.
