I love Pete The Cat books.

I was up reading one to Will that requires singing.

I didn't realize that DH had the monitor on downstairs.

I came down and he was giggling his ass off at my musical interpretation of the buttons song, and then we compared notes on singing it. lol

We loooove them, too. We are hooked on the big lunch and Thanksgiving ones right now. I picked up more for Xmas.

Me too! "I like my white shoes..."

We bought The First Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago at the school book fair. It's just alright.

But the buttons one is awesome.

I *might* prefer Skippyjon Jones to Pete, but I haven't completely decided.

C's class did that last year for the end of the year show. She had the line, "buttons come and buttons go". It was awesome. I have a video somewhere.

[cbwm1]

LOL, Cleo! That's awesome. And that's Will's favorite line to say.

Tada!! Love Pete in our house. Lucy's class did Rockin I my White Shoes at graduation.

The artist lives outside of Atlanta, and we got several prints signed by him when he did a thing at the library. I have loved Pete the cat for years now, all because I had a cat named Pete.

I was, too! There was a sticker on the front of the book with the site, lol

[cbwm1]

Ahh, this was a library book, sans sticker.

I will totally be showing Will the video tomorrow!

Now I need to go see if there are Skippyjon videos. HOLY FRIJOLES!!

Pete is the best.

My son got the "rocking in my school shoes" book and it's super cute. It even came with a pair of laces.

[starshine1977]

I love Pete too! I read his books to my students often I also may have dressed as Pete for Halloween

[Dezi]

Me too! I read the school shoes one today for the first time and wasn't sure of how to sing it but it was still great. DD rated it a 10 in her school reading log so I must have done it right.

M buttons, my buttons, my three groovy buttons...
