Nothing fazes Pete the Cat with his rocking red high-top tennis shoes. Pete takes the first day of school in stride as he discovers new places such as the library, the cafeteria, and the playground. The text is made up of the lyrics to the song he sings throughout the school day as he reads, eats, plays, paints, adds, and writes in his school shoes. Children can easily pick up the repetitive pattern and rhythm of the text and sing along in no time. Pete the Cat is a reassuring character as he adapts to his school environment with confidence and ownership. Does he worry? Goodness, no!
