Review

Pete the Cat is all decked out in his Saturday Night Fever garb and ready to dance. He is learning the Cool Cat Boogie and thinks he is doing fine until time and time again he is told that he is doing it wrong. It seems that everyone from Grumpy Toad to Turtle believe that he is just not getting it and he begins to wonder if they might be right. Eventually Wise Old Owl sets him straight and Pete realizes that as long as he is having fun and being himself, he will grab every chance he gets to dance, dance, dance. With rhyming text that complements the colorful, bold, and expressive illustrations, this will be a book that will get youngsters moovin' and groovin'. Pete the Cat lovers in particular will enjoy this offering.

Overall Book Score: good
