It also teaches children that when bad things happen, they are often not quite as bad as you think in a funny and light-hearted way. It’s also a great way to teach mental arithmetic, as Pete looses a button, we do the maths to work out how many buttons left. My son can be heard singing the song well after the story had ended. We made up a little tune for Pete’s song ourselves, but there is actually a link to a free download of a song on the Pete the Cat website. The story has plenty of repetition, but this is part of what makes it so charming. “Did Pete cry? Goodness, no! He kept on singing his song” But then do you know what happens? One pops off – But did Pete cry? Pete loves the buttons on his shirt, so much so that he even has a groovy song for them. Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons is about Pete’s, well, groovy buttons. In fact, when I read the books I often wonder if Pete might have had something added to his brownies □. Pete is the most laid-back, chilled cat you could ever meet. The books have really fun and colourful and are definitely written with a sense of humour. Ryan and Craig read aloud 'Pete The Cat And His Four Groovy Buttons' by Eric Litwin and James Dean. I had not heard of Pete the Cat before, but my husband has fond memories of him from his childhood and suggested we buy a couple of the stories for our son for Christmas.
