5.0 out of 5 stars Pete the Cat - no worries! May 1, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love Pete the Cat and share the books often with my group of 18 3- 4-year-old preschoolers. I preordered this book and just received it. Another hit, I'd say! Here are some of my favorite things about Pete:

1) He teaches kids that they shouldn't sweat the small stuff. Buttons pop off...they come and they go, but should you cry? Goodness no!

2) This new book is good for early subtraction skills. It even shows the math equations.

3) I use the video to learn the songs and the story the way it's meant to be told. Moms and Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas, and teachers: You can do this, too, to make the book fun with the appropriate groovy singing and sound effects!!

4) Colorful and fun illustrations!

Have fun!!

We just received our new Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons today and already I read it 5 times to my kids. It is written so well - very concise. Pictures are really descriptive. Teaches about emotions and how to handle situations (that a lot of kids respond to with tantrums because they can't deal) with Pete's signature motto "It's all Good" in a way that kids can understand and apply to their own lives. It's my go-to book for gifts for little children. Never met a kid that didn't get obsessed with Pete the Cat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as catchy May 3, 2012
Format:Hardcover
We love Pete the Cat. He's a staple in our house- we even had Pin the Shoes on Pete at my daughter's bday party. This new installment is just as cute, containing a laugh out loud surprise. But... the song is just not as catchy. When I find myself singing a kids song, as I did with the shoe song, I know it's good. The button song is just not catching on though. However, the message the story imparts is the important thing. Do we cry? "Goodness No!" Things come and go, and we need to be "all good" with that!
