Pete the cat is hungry, so he decides to make a sandwich, but when he starts building it he simply can't stop. Pretty soon his sandwich is way too big for him to eat alone, so he invites all his friends to join him for lunch. After all, as he says, "Sharing is cool."
This is a fun, silly tale with a nice message about sharing at the end. Many students will enjoy watching Pete's absurd sandwich grow out of control -- way too big for one cat to eat.
Please note: Although this book is billed as an early reader, the fine print calls it a "My First Shared Reading" book and suggests that adults share it with emergent readers. Also, those who expect this to be like the previous Pete the Cat books, with the rhythm and the music, may be in for a disappointment, as the original author has moved on. As a standalone book, however, it's a fun story. Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- ESSENTIAL. Reviewed by: Caryn
