My childhood in one book. I liked this book because it is a classic in terms of children's books. Pete the cat books have great messages and in this one particular the cat learns responsibility for a small but important life. As much as it is important to take care of himself it's just as important to take care of your pet. ( )

This book is a super cute and an easy ready for beginning chapter book readers. It has few words on each page, but is the perfect length to give students that feel of a chapter book. It follows a cat you get a pet goldfish and after discovering he can not do much with the fish he decides to paint him and ends up with the whole town wanting a painting done by him! Overall it is a super fun story with cute pictures that I would for sure have in my classroom for primary kiddos. ( )

In this short book, it talks about this cat that wants to have his first pet. He ends up getting a goldfish and can't do anything with it so he decides to paint the fish. Everyone wants him to paint his fish for them. So, he decides to do a big painting so everyone can enjoy his art. This book is great for ages 2-7. ( )

Pete gets a pet goldfish and everyone wants a copy of the painting of his fish he did- but Pete does not have enough time to do one for everybody so he problem solves and used resourcefulness to paint a giant mural so that everyone in the town who wanted a painting can view it and enjoy it
