Not what I expected from a "Pete the Cat" book. It is a colorful book with extremely sparse text about 5 little pumpkins and Halloween. Pete is in each picture, but that is all he has to do with the story. I find it a bit disappointing and don't recommend it if you are looking for a traditional "Pete the Cat" book.
Not impressed. Great illustrations as usual, but the story was phoned in. Very little substance compared to other Pete books(which we love!). That wouldn't bother me as much if it was one of the $3.99 books. Not a great effort here.
It's just okay. Not as good as Wheels on The Bus. We can read it in less than 1 minute. Was hoping for better as we love the other Pete the Cat books.
If your child loves Pete the Cat, this book will be probably be a winner regardless. From a parental point of view, the story isn't as good or engaging as a normal Pete the Cat book. It is contrived with holiday sales in mind... brief sentences and rhymes, and honestly, not a very good tale. My son really got excited to see a Pete the Cat Halloween book, but after one time through it, really has no interest in me reading it to him again. He likes looking at the pictures, however, because he does love Pete the Cat.. but even he knows a boring book when he hears one.
I see a lot of other reviewers complaining about the length of the book.. however, I found it to be a perfect length for my 3 year old. He was able to stay interested in it and finish the story before getting distracted and moving onto something else. So for my child this was the perfect length book. Great illustrations and it's a fun little story about Halloween with the popular Pete the Cat. If you are looking for a longer book that an older child can enjoy reading, then this isn't the book for you. I would recommend this book for younger children, who are being read to, or for the beginner readers, as it is simple enough that they can read it.
Dissapointed.. pretty pictures.. but thought the story would be more involved like our other Pete the cat books.
Cute, but really not much of a story. If I had seen this book in a bookstore, I would not have bought it. A child could read the story in a maximum of 1 minute---and that's it. Done, thrown in a corner and forgotten about. Gave it 4 stars because the cover is cute.
I bought this book because my 4-yr-old son is a Pete the Cat fan. This book is just a 5 little pumpkins rhyme. Pete the cat is on each page but there is no storyline involving Pete. I tried to pump it for some kind of content and was trying to discuss the different costumes the pumpkins are wearing: 2 are pirates, 1 is a vampire, 1 is Frankenstein (after much debate) and no idea what the 5th one is. A 4-yr-old doesn't/shouldn't know what a vampire or a Frankenstein is. It would have been so easy to make the costumes more kid-friendly - a ghost/white sheet, a doctor, a princess, a baseball player, a super hero, etc. We're very disappointed in this book. Very poorly conceived. :(
