    In 2004, Kimberly & James Dean sat down at their kitchen table to collaborate on a children's book together. Their dream finally became a reality with the release of Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. Both left corporate jobs in the late nineties (James was an electrical engineer, Kimberly worked in the press office of the governor of Georgia) to pursue their passion for art, and they have experienced a life made up of strange and wonderful coincidences ever since. Pete the Cat has brought magic into their lives.

A Groovy Gobble of Gratitude!

A Groovy Gobble of Gratitude!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The beloved Pete the Cat is back, and this time he's bringing Thanksgiving cheer! "Pete the Cat: The First Thanksgiving" is a delightful story that teaches kids about the history and importance of Thanksgiving through the eyes of our favorite cool cat.In this hardcover picture book, Pete takes part in a school play about the first Thanksgiving. Through this fun and engaging story, children learn about the Pilgrims and Native Americans, and the meaning of giving thanks. The book has colorful illustrations and lift-the-flap surprises that keep young readers engaged and excited to turn the page.As a longtime Pete the Cat fan, I love how this book blends education with entertainment. When I was a first-time Kindergarten teacher, Pete the Cat quickly became a staple in my classroom decor and curriculum, and this Thanksgiving story fits right in.To complement the book, I created a Problem and Solution printable activity, which you can find in the pictures for a freebie. This activity helps students identify the problems faced by the Pilgrims and the solutions they found, reinforcing the story's lessons in a fun and interactive way.I give "Pete the Cat: The First Thanksgiving" a solid 5 stars. It's a fantastic addition to any classroom or home library, perfect for teaching kids about Thanksgiving in a fun and memorable way. Plus, with the included printable activity, you can extend the learning experience and keep the Thanksgiving spirit alive in your classroom!

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023

I didn’t expect this to have lift the flaps (my fault for not looking more closely). The flaps were also hard to lift/fold cleanly, some sloppy gluing, and some of the flaps were lifting up where they should’ve been glued. It’s also paperback when my other Pete books are hardcovers. Again my fault. Decent story but the physical book will not stand the test of time (my young kids).

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute Lift-the-Flap Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2014
Verified Purchase
This is a cute little lift-the-flap book . . . but therein lies the problem, this is a lift-the-flap book. =/ My son requested this book because Pete the Cat books are hos absolute favorite right now (1st grade). He loves the rhyming and the funky pictures. When he received this book, he was ecstatic, and he immediately sat down to master the words so he could read it to the whole family on Thanksgiving. Then my 2 year old nephew got hold of the book. He was doing great with it, flipping the pages and laughing, until all of a sudden he started ripping off several of the flaps. My son was distressed, to say the least.

We love this book, but I recommend keeping it out of the hands of anyone under the age of 5 as the flaps are just too tempting for the littler ones. Or, consider buying a back up. ;)
