Pete the Cat goes walking down the street wearing his brand-new white shoes. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as he steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries, and other big messes! But no matter what color his shoes are, Pete keeps movin’ and groovin’ and singing his song . . . because it’s all good.
This installment of the Pete the Cat series brings us Pete's day in his new white shoes, which (spoiler alert) don't stay white for long. The illustrations are colorful and cheery, and the simple story has a nice repetition to it that makes it easy for toddlers to enjoy. To complete the package, there's a great, subtle message about enjoying whatever life brings.
Very repetitive but good story about being relaxed when things go wrong.
