Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School audiobook

Read for my toddler this book at the library. Today we learn that to be cool is to be ourselves.

SPOILER ALERTPete the Cat: Too Cool for School deals with an issue that many, if not all, children and adults face: the pressure to fit in and to be deemed as cool. Pete the Cat asks his friends and some of his acquaintances what he should wear to school on the first day. Needless to say, Pete the Cat receives a plethora of answers that only leaves him feeling confused and conflicted. Pete has the fashion eye and originality to realize that wearing too many patterns or layers is not who he is. He is not what everyone else tells him to be, but rather an individual with a unique sense of style and class. This book made me reflect on my own life and ask, "where am I letting others make decisions for me about my own self-worth?" The answers were as apparent as they were life-changing. This book really captures what it means to be human and a little insecure, but gives great, practical steps to taking your life and your self confidence back. An illustrated classic that deserves to be on everyone's "Must Read List for 2020". Don't miss out on this opportunity to take control of your life.

Ronin's new favorite book! He loves Pete the Cat

I like this book due to the “silly” cat, which wants to be cool for school, so he keeps seeking the other people’s idea about how to be dressed cool. He is trying to put everything on him while everyone is telling him to wear, which belongs to their favorites. Finally, he found himself looks silly and then he tries to put on his favorite clothing and feels that is comfortable to be himself. From the middle of the book to the end, there are several dialogs and repeat sentences, which help children easily recall, memorize, and react. In addition, the book also uses many adjectives to introduce the pattern of clothes, which is very important for young children to learn items specifically. I think children will laugh at the silly cat and engage in Q&A mode with teacher such as repeat “It’s my favorite” and “So Pete does” during the reading. Interact with teacher and peers and share what is their favorite clothing. While reading it aloud, I would emphasize the adjectives and repeat sentences and “His favorite….” While Pete puts on everything that is his favorites finally.

Synopsis: "Pete the Cat can't decide what outfit he should wear to make him look cool for school. He has so many colorful choices in his closet to choose from, how will he decide on one?In this hilarious I Can Read tale, Pete learns it's not what you wear, but how you wear it that makes you cool."My Review: I figured this would be a great book to kick off the school year for Munchkin. This was a fun book for beginning readers with a lot of simple words and sentences and a lot of sight words and color words. It also has a great message about being you and not worrying what other people like.

The book is about Pete the main character who wants to look cool at school, so he started asking his entourage about what to wear to look cool. At the end, Pete wears his favorite clothes. The moral of this story is very important since it is about being yourself, “if you want to be cool, just be you!”. This is a silly and funny book which makes it very entertaining for young children. it is an appropriate book to share with emergent readers because it has a lot of repetition and many sight words and short sentences.

This book is a fun an silly book young kids can enjoy it talks about Pete the cat who wants to look cool for school so he asks everyone what he should wear. Well he ends up putting on all the clothes everyone told him to wear and he just feels silly an hot so he picked out his own outfit an it states in the end if you want to be cool just be you.

A wonderful character and fun story that shares the importance of being true to yourself. Being yourself is how you draw people to you- not by trying to be who you think they want you to be. Thanks, Pete!

This book is great for encouraging children to be self-confident. Pete tried to do what other people wanted to make himself cool, but in the end he figures out that what really matters is how he feels about himself. The pictures throughout the story are cute and colorful.

Too cool for school was a quick read. Words that hope could understand and relate to. She could follow along with the plot.
