I have nothing against James Dean. I love his illustrations and I wish him all the best.I have a problem, however, with the lack of Eric Litwin's writing in the newer Pete the Cat books, so I'm writing this for the benefit of those shopping for a certain style.If you are looking for the rhyming, sing-songy style of Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons, you'll not see it here.I'm a school librarian and our younger students love to sing along with "I'm rocking in my school shoes," and they relish the repetitive "Did Pete cry? Goodness, no." I love the earlier books for their pictures, but I got hooked because of the writing style.So, I feel like someone baited me into loving Pete the Cat and then changed it while I wasn't looking.The books that were written by Eric Litwin (and illustrated by the very-talented James Dean) were:Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons,Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes,Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes,andPete the Cat Saves Christmas.If, however, you have a train-loving child and are interested in any train-related book, this is cute and affordable.

My English language learners love Pete the Cat. This is a nice story for emerging early readers, as the illustrations help children to understand any new vocabulary that they don't know. In this book, Pete explores a train and tells his story about travelling to see his grandma. My ESL students really latched on to and understood the concept and had great discussions after they read it. Great little learning tool. Fun illustrations!

The Pete-the-Cat books in general are our favorites in the "My First Level, I Can Read!" series. Pete may not be as well known as Little Critter, Biscuit, Fancy Nancy, or the Berenstain Bears, but he has an antic hip vibe that bests those staid franchise bedrocks.Unlike some of the "I Can Read" books, the Pete books usually have a complete story, with a clear beginning, a couple of developments in the middle, and then a satisfying ending. I like that even in very early readers. What happens makes sense and the endings are satisfying. Each fully illustrated page has two sentences, running from four to seven words each. That's a nice length and a good and fair challenge for a little starting reader. The drawings fully support the text, and while they look a bit amateurish at first the characters are actually expressive and presented effectively.Many of the other Pete books have a mild message, (be yourself, do your best), but this one is mostly just a train adventure story that emphasizes curiosity, being friendly, and having new experiences. For a relatively short pre-chapter book Pete's encounters on the train are pretty varied and wide ranging.So, this is one of the few early readers books that strikes me as "set worthy" and we've been happy to collect them all over time. The paperback versions are particularly good value.

Oh, how we love Pete the Cat. This book is absolutely perfect for my 6 year old grandson as it is a My First Shared reader and he loves Pete. The nice, colorful pictures give great clues to the emergent reader, the sentences are short and simple, and there is enough of a story to keep interest. This book will go nicely with the train engineer hat that I will also give to him.

The Pete the Cat collection is just terrific. These stories are a little more sophisticated than many books for this age group and the illustrations are engaging and perfectly fit the text on each page. The stories address many things that children worry about and things they enjoy. Very positive and fun books. Both boys and girls love Pete the Cat :)My two-year-old granddaughter loves this series so much, that we also bought a Pete the Cat plush toy. It is one of her favorites.

One of the better "I Can Read" books. The books themselves are supposed to be really easy to read so the context is kind of plain and boring. There are only so many things that they can write Pete the Cat into and this one actually tells a decent story for being easy to read. My son enjoyed it.

This one is super cute. My daughter absolutely loves it. She has learned in variety of new words at the age of 2 because of this book and learning about the different aspects of the train and those who work on it train. Is one of my more favorite pete the cat books.

This is a great series for kids. My four grandkids (2-9) love hearing about the adventures of Pete and his friends. I've purchased most of them and have recommended them to others. My soon to be 10 yo enjoys reading to his younger siblings and these are short and fun.
