Introduction
Pete, the Cat, goes marching under the path using his brand-new white shoes. On the way, his boots transform from white to red to blue to brown to wet as he steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries, and other big messes!
But no subject what shade his shoes are, Pete grips movin’ and groovin’ and singing his song because it’s all great. Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes asks the student inquiries about the shades of various foods and things—children love to interact with the story.
Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by james Dean
Pete the Cat was walking down the street in his brand new white shoes. Pete loved his white shoes so much, he sang this song.
I love my white shoes. I love my white shoes. I love my white shoes. I love my white shoes. I love my white shoes. I love my white shoes.
Oh no. Pete stepped in a large pile of strawberries. What color did it turn his shoes?
Red.
Did Pete cry?
Goodness, no.
He kept walking along and singing his song.
I love my red shoes. I love my red shoes. I love my red shoes. I love my red shoes. I love my red…
Oh no. Pete stepped in a large pile of blueberries. What color did it turn his shoes?
Blue.
Did Pete cry?
Goodness, no.
He kept walking along and singing his song.
I love my blue shoes. I love my blue shoes. I love my blue shoes. I love my blue shoes. I love my blue shoes. I love…
Oh no. Pete stepped in a large puddle of mud. What color did it turn his shoes?
Brown.
Did Pete cry?
Goodness, no.
He kept walking along and singing his song.
I love my brown shoes. I love my brown shoes. I love my brown shoes. I love my brown shoes. I love my brown shoes. I love my brown…
Oh no.
Pete stepped in a bucket of water and all the brown, and all the blue, and all the red were washed away.
What color were his shoes again?
White.
But now they were wet. Did Pete cry?
Goodness, no.
He kept walking along and singing his song.
I love my wet shoes. I love my wet shoes. I love my wet shoes. I love my wet shoes. I love my wet shoes. I love my wet shoes. I love my wet shoes. I love my wet shoes.
The moral of Pete’s story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song because it’s all good.
