Perfect for you if...

  • You have a child starting school or nursery and want a book that normalises new places without being heavy-handed about it.
  • You're looking for picture books with genuine rhythm and musicality that kids actually want to hear again.
  • You appreciate stories where the main character models emotional resilience through attitude rather than problem-solving.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer stories with clear conflict and resolution rather than slice-of-life exploration.
  • You want books that challenge your child intellectually or introduce complex narratives.
  • You find repetitive, singalong texts annoying rather than engaging.

About this book

Pete the Cat arrives at school wearing his school shoes, ready to explore. Throughout his day, he discovers the library, lunch room, playground, and other areas of the school. No matter where he goes, Pete continues moving, grooving, and singing his song, maintaining his attitude that "it's all good." The story features a repetitive, catchy song that encourages children to sing along, making reading an interactive musical experience. Pete's cool-cat attitude demonstrates how to approach new experiences with confidence and positivity. This book helps prepare children for school by introducing them to different school spaces and environments. Through Pete's example, children learn to face new situations and challenges with a calm, positive perspective. A free groovin' song is available to download. This is part of a series that includes Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, Pete the Cat Saves Christmas, Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses, Pete the Cat and the Bedtime Blues, Pete the Cat and the New Guy, Pete the Cat and the Cool Cat Boogie, Pete the Cat and the Missing Cupcakes, Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party, and Pete the Cat: Crayons Rock!
