Dean, Kimberly and James Pete the Cat and his Magic Sunglasses 40 pgs. HarperCollins, 2013. $5.36.  Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G. PICTURE BOOK

Pete the Cat is never grumpy. But when he gets a hold of some magic sunglasses, everything is way better. Pete shares the joy with everyone else who is grumpy too. When the sunglasses break, he learns an important lesson from a wise owl.

I am a big fan of Pete the cat. His laid back attitude is just what students need. This book helps students to appreciate the day and help others do the same. The pages are large and bright, perfect for sharing at storytime.
