Favorite Things #18

Today's post should go hand in hand with Favorite Thing #16 (read here). Since the girls love cats so much, they also really like the Pete the Cat book series. E1 learned about Pete the Cat in preschool and he loves the books as well. So when one of my friends told me that there were actually videos of the songs in the book, we had to check it out!

Of course the kids loved them and we like to sing along each time we watch the videos on youtube. If you want to check it out, this video is a good intro to the Pete the Cat world! It is a live reading/singing of Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes by the author of the book, Eric Litwin. And the artist, James Dean is the one holding the book.

Another reason I really like this book series is that it teaches a great lesson for the kids!

P/s We recently picked up the Pete the Cat doll too!

Do your kids like Pete the Cat? Are there book series that are favorites in your home? Do share with us!

  1. My kids like Pete the Cat series okay. They don't ask for them, but will sit through the stories. I have the Christmas one on reserve at the library.

    Lately, we have been reading How do the Dinosaurs.... series. Like How do the Dinosaurs Say Goodnight or How do the Dinosaur Say Merry Christmas. Will loves dinosaurs and it's rubbing off on Anna.

    1. I'll have to check out that series, E1 is mildly interested in dinosaurs and might actually enjoy it.

  2. We have never heard of Pet the Cat before. Baby C is really into Veggie Tale books right now. She loves to play the Youtube videos too and we have some of the movies on Netflix and DVD.

    1. No. The girls are each getting a little electronic cat for Christmas. They saw it at Five Below and wanted it, so we said OK, it can be your present. Hopefully that will keep them satisfied for a while =)
