Pete the Cat: Go, Pete, Go! Audiobook Summary

New York Times bestselling author-artist James Dean brings us a new Pete the Cat adventure, a special reimagining of “The Tortoise and the Hare” as a race between Pete and Turtle, in Pete the Cat: Go, Pete, Go!

Ding, ding. There’s nothing Pete the Cat loves to do more on a sunny day than ring his little bell and pedal fast on his bicycle. But on this sunny day, Turtle wants to race someone in his new car. Vroom, vroom! Pete and his bicycle are up for the challenge!

And when Pete crosses the finish line, he proves it’s not where you’re going that matters, it’s how groovy of a time you have getting there!

Pete the Cat: Go, Pete, Go! Audiobook Narrator

James Fouhey is the narrator of Pete the Cat: Go, Pete, Go! audiobook that was written by James Dean

James Dean is the original creator and illustrator of Pete the Cat. He is a self-taught artist originally from Fort Payne, Alabama. His passion for drawing became apparent at a young age, and as a child, you could find James drawing his favorite characters like Snoopy and Yogi Bear. 

James earned his degree in electrical engineering from Auburn University and went on to work for Georgia Power for a number of years. Eventually, he was called to pursue his art full-time and began selling his work at art festivals around the Southeast. 

It was during this time that he began creating paintings and drawing of his cat, Pete. The little blue cat showed up as a character in James’s artwork around 1999 and has been a permanent fixture ever since. 

James Dean’s art has been sold in more than ninety galleries and shops across the United States. He has devoted his paintings to Pete the Cat for fifteen years and turned his natural love for cats into his life’s work. James published his first book, The Misadventures of Pete the Cat, a history of his artwork, in 2006, and he illustrated his first self-published children’s book, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, in 2008. There are now almost 100 published Pete the Cat titles with more coming out all the time.

James is humbled every day by the success that this groovy blue cat has brought him. He says positively affecting children’s lives is his number one priority, and he is grateful to have such an amazing audience to work for.

Silly turtle and his hare-like racing techniques.

Janna

This story has a wonderful meaning behind it. Turtle and Pete are racing each other and turtle thinks he is the fastest and the best racer ever. Pete keep racing Turtle, but Pete takes his time and stops to take a break and keep strolling along. Little does Turtle know, but Pete is on a slow mission to beat Turtle. The meaning behind this story can really relate to some of our students. It's not about how fast you complete or do something, it's about the time and effort it takes you to complete it. For a lesson, you can have your students use the words PETE THE CAT and have them create as many words as they can in 5 minutes using only those letters. This will help students who need a break from everyday school work to focus on something else. This also gets their minds thinking a bit!

My daughter loves me reading Pete's story. This is the second Pete story I am buying because my daughter loves it. I was surprised she knows Pete and was able to tell me the story. I had read it to her only twice so I got this one for her. Halfway through reading I realized she was falling asleep so I stopped reading. Only to hear her ask "you finish the story already?" Will buy more in thus collection for her.

Pete the Cat (on his bike) plays the role of the tortoise and the tortoise (in his race car) plays the role of the hare in this updated retelling of the Aesop Fable.

A fun, flip-flopped retelling of the classic Tortoise and the Hare story. This was a fun read!

A perfect story to teach not to be overcompetitive or overconfident. A retelling of the tortoise and the hare.

“This book was interesting and it was really in one place which was a book!”

Finally a nicely written book by Jame Dean about Pete the Cat. While it's not truly original in the storyline, it carries through the message from the very first book "everything is cool/groovy". It's ironic that the turtle is now driving a fast vehicle in this storyline.

Of course the kids love Pete the Cat. It was a good retelling of the turtle and the hare
