Pete the Cat and the Itsy Bitsy Spider Audiobook Narrator
James Fouhey is the narrator of Pete the Cat and the Itsy Bitsy Spider 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.

If you know the Itsy Bitsy Spider you'll enjoy this cool jazzy remake of it. Pete the cat takes on the Itsy bitsy spider and does a great job. Oz was even jamming along, but he loves Itsy Bitsy.

Song + Pete = good, but I wish the rhyme/rhythm extended to the pages that weren't a verbatim retelling of the song.
