Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1 A slight episode about a navy-blue cat, new white shoes, and maintaining a positive outlook. Pete the Cat strolls down the street singing, I love my white shoes, I love my white shoes, I love my white shoes. Then he steps in (actually climbs up) a huge hill of strawberries that turn his pristine sneakers red. Did Pete cry? Goodness, no! He kept walking along and singing his song. I love my red shoes.... He proceeds to step in a mound of blueberries and then a mud puddle, each incident changing his sneakers to a new hue (the colors never blend). Unsmiling but placid, Pete takes it all in stride. After stepping into a bucket more like a tub of water, he notices that his sneakers are not only white again, but also wet. Even though they are back to their original color, the next illustration perplexingly shows Pete walking along with each shoe sporting one of the four colors highlighted in the book. Bright, childlike illustrations show the long-limbed feline regularly altering his footwear but continuing not to watch where he's walking. The moral of the story keep going no matter what happens to you in life may sound like good advice, but it doesn't instill any sense of power in children it just tells them to accept their fate. The downloadable song might help spark interest, but there's not much here to get excited about. Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI

This book taught my son so many words! His fav word from this book that he says so often is “oh no.” This book also helps with colors! We have red this book so much that it’s constantly “sung” and recited myself, my toddler, and my husband. Definitely watch the videos along with this book and buy the Pete stuffy that goes with it!

I bought this book for my daughter when she was about three. Be prepared - It is one of those books a child wants to have you read over and over. It even has a neat moral at the end. We met the author, Eric Litwin, when he was touring public libraries in the South doing concerts. He is zany and relatable. I just recently bought a copy of Pete the Cat and HIs New White Shoes for the grandchildren of a family member. It is still fun to read to small ones.
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024
This book is amazing. It’s hard cover and the pages are thick so it’s less likely to be torn by the kids. Also the colors are vibrant, the moral of the story is deep but still portrayed in a way that children can understand and also the size of the book is ideal for my 6 year old son who loves Pete the Cat.

Vraiment parfait pour aborder l'anglais dans une classe de maternelle (je l'utilise en Grande Section). Le personnage est drôle, attachant, vraiment intéressant, la musique très entrainante, les enfants accrochent vraiment bien. Et l'histoire est très très bien conçue : elle évolue dans l'interaction entre le narrateur et les auditeurs qui participent à un jeu de question réponses (là c'est autour des couleurs). C'est très motivant pour les enfants. A recommander chaudement aux enseignants en maternelle qui voudraient "oser" l'anglais: vous allez faire mouche avec ce dispositif!
