About the book
Pete the Cat is a picture book about a blue cartoon cat named Pete, an anthropomorphic character who walks along wearing a pair of white shoes he adores. The story is told as a song with a repeating refrain in which Pete declares his love for his shoes. As he strolls, he steps in a variety of substances that dirty the shoes and change their colour. Whatever happens to them, Pete keeps his cool and carries on singing. The book launches a long-running series created by artist James Dean.
