Pete the Cat Saves Christmas: Includes Sticker Sheet! A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids

My son loves Pete the cat. This was such a cute little story of no matter your size you can do it all, just keep hope and never give up.

My youngest who is 6 loves this book. It is easy to understand the words and follow the story line.

The media could not be loaded.  And yet another great Pete the cat story! The pre-k aged kids LOVE pete and this story does not disappoint!

I'm using Pete the Cat books to work on reading skills with my young grandchildren. We all enjoy his antics and amusing illustrations.

I’ve read an awful lot of book, and more Pete the Cat books than I’d like to admit, and this Christmas book of his falls in my top 5! Great rhyming story!

I'm of two minds about this book. Mind one says "hurray! Another Pete book! My children will be so happy!"Mind two says, "Christmas themed? Hmm. I dunno. This is starting to be a bit over-marketed."So, I ordered the book with a bit of trepidation. The trepidation was all mine. My children did not care at all what the book was about other than it was another Eric Litwin book with James Dean's beautiful illustrations of Pete.It came today. My children (both age 4) already love it. My daughter has declared it her favorite of the Pete books thus far (we'll see if she still feels that way in the years to come). My son is in love with all the new illustrations.I'm a bit disappointed that a new video has not yet been released by Harper Collins to accompany the book as that has been a major part of their love for previous Pete books. Perhaps there will be one closer to the actual Christmas season. This is important as all Pete books have had songs that you sing parts of the books to. Without the video, it's hard to know how to sing the song. These sung words are really an integral part of children's love for the books. With no sing-along part, the books are still beautiful, but not the amazing experience they can be.So there's that, aside from that, it's a sweet book. The basic plot is what you would expect from a "xxx saves Christmas" story. Pete replaces a sick Santa on Christmas Eve and gets the job done. The central aspect of this story is that Christmas is for giving, and that you give your all no matter how small you are.All Pete books have a moral, this one feels a bit unfinished and hurried to me (my children do not agree).What does not feel the least bit unfinished or hurried are James Dean's beautiful Pete illustrations. As usual they are absolutely lush, fun, imaginative and evocative.Generally Litwin's amazing ability to inspire and create music that touches children combined with James Dean's painting prowess combine to create a full experience unlike other books for young children. If Harper Collins gets behind this book and Litwin creates a video with song to go with it, it will be as big a hit as the previous three Pete books.Until they do that, I would hold off on getting Pete the Cat Saves Christmas unless you have diehard Pete lovers in your home as we do. If you're really looking to further explore the vein I would instead recommend  The Big Silly With Mr.Eric , one of Litwin's music releases.

Funny and enjoyable my students loved it and we were able to use companion activities to expand their reading comprehension.

Simple and cute quick books that help teach lessons and keeps tiny people’s attention! My kids love Pete the Cat!

Got this to build up my child'c collection of Pete the Cat books. My child likes Pete the Cat and regularly sits down to read the books also nice book to read before bed

i am an early years teacher and love telling stories. i have all the other pete the cat stories and love them all - with their catchy song downloads. the children ask for them time after time. pete the cat saves christmas was just as good as the others. the children and i loved it and listened to it over and over.

I love groovy Pete!

Another great story in the series

I'm a US exchange teacher in the UK, and the best thing I've brought to my school from America has been Pete the Cat. My pupils love him and look forward to the next book coming out.
