Pete the Cat: Rock On, Mom and Dad! Audiobook Narrator

Lewis Grosso is the narrator of Pete the Cat: Rock On, Mom and Dad! 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.

Pete the Cat is going about his day, when he realizes how much his mom and dad do for him. He thinks of several things he could do to help them out back (with some... interesting results), but after some sage advice from his big brother settles on a "thank you" idea that is uniquely his!The family dynamic in this is stellar! Especially liked that Pete has an older sibling he can turn to for caring advice. Though his idea isn't a "new" one, it is a good, safe idea for kids of any age (and dodges the issues that Pete's imaginary helpful ideas showed).No content issues. This would be a good choice for any time you want to focus on family appreciation.

This is a great book for learning to appreciate all the little things your parents do for you that you may not even realize is happening. Pete begins to see just how amazing his parents are and he wants to do something special for them and make it a surprise. He debates on what to do though because he really wants it to be awesome. He ends up making the perfect song to perform for his parents.

Synopsis: "Mom and Dad do so much for Pete that he wants to thank them with a special surprise. But what can Pete do that will show Mom and Dad how much he loves them? In this groovy story, Pete learns that the best way to say thank you is to mean it. Young readers will love watching Pete surprise Mom and Dad with something totally awesome."My Review: This is a great book to read for either Mother's Day or Father's Day or really any day to remind kids how much their parents do for them and what they can do to show their appreciation. Of course in true funky Pete the Cat style, a unique gift is the best, even if it is a rock song.

This is a very sweet book about how you can make a great gift for your parents by just doing what you do best. Pete the Cat is a great role model for young kids. He looks at life with a positive attitude. I like how, while Pete is thinking of what he can do, the picture shows his idea, which is good in thought, but it usually ends in trouble (mowing the grass = accidentally mowing a flowerbed). It made me chuckle! This is a marvelous book! Tho book comes with a poster, little cards for your parents and stickers too!*NOTE I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

In this Pete the Cat book, Pete starts to realize how much his parents do for him to help him be happy. So he wants to do something special back for them but doesn't know what. He asks his brother and brother says that as long as his heart is in it their parents will appreciate anything he does. He thinks about that and he writes them a song and sings it to him. This story helps children to understand how special their families can be.

LOVE how the mom and dad are portrayed as smart, responsible, and loving and that Pete wants to reciprocate that love with a show of gratitude! Also love that he loves and looks up to his older brother!

LOVED this book. I was wondering if my 17 year old was too old to read it? :) It could even be a great present for grown kids to give their parents as a type of card for a bigger present to show them how much you appreciate everything they did for you.
