About the book
Pete the Cat is a picture book about an anthropomorphic blue cat named Pete, who wears a pair of white shoes that he loves. Written in the form of a song, it follows Pete as he walks along and steps in various substances that dirty his shoes. A repeating refrain announces how much he loves his shoes, with the colour named in the line changing as the shoes do. Whatever happens to them, Pete never loses his cool, and he simply keeps singing his song. The book was illustrated by James Dean, with text by Eric Litwin.
