What can your child learn from this book?
Being creative. What kind of food can you fit inside a sandwich?
Getting perspective. How many things can you actually fit inside a sandwich?
Learning her/his limits. Can I really eat this huge sandwich all by myself?
Acknowledging his/her friends. Are there actually people out there that they would like to eat a sandwich with me?
Appreciating sharing. Will I make my friends happy if I share my sandwich with them?
I believe this little, sweet, educative, funny book is suitable for children up to first grade, maybe beginning of second grade. -
Review by my 5 year old:

I liked it because he couldn't fit all the lunch in his mouth, so he called his friends so they could eat with him. It is good to share, and it makes everyone happy. -
Read for my toddler’s nap time. Pete was hungry and made a sandwich for himself. He kept thinking how the sandwich was too small and add more and more. Eventually the sandwich got way too big so he invited his friends over to eat with him.
Read from kindle unlimited. -
This was a really nice story. I really like how they snuck the lesson in at the end.

I know I have shouted out by love of Pete the Cat before, but I just can’t help myself. I LOVE Pete! His blue, true, laid-back ways always make me smile.
A new “I Can Read!” series with Pete captures all the energy, warmth, and fun of his picture books in big, clear, simple words for readers just starting their journey into the magical world of words.
Pete sets out to make a sandwich with pickles, cheese, eggs, hot dogs, and a can of beans! Haha…What? It could be yummy. :D But as the layers of food fun climb higher and higher, Pete realizes there is just too much food for him to eat alone. So what’s a cat to do? Call some friends to help of course!
A colorful, cute tale filled with Pete’s unique brand of fun and lessons to live by.
Hope you dive in or better yet—share it with a friend. :) -

Pete makes a sandwich. By which I mean he makes a big pile of food. The story is simplistic, maybe appropriate for new readers.

My girls and I love Pete the Cat. In this adventure, great to read to emerging readers, Pete tries to make himself a sandwich. He adds all of his favorite things, but before too long, Pete realizes this sandwich is WAY too big for him. So, he invites his friends over to share his big lunch. Everyone has a great meal, and a great time, and thanks Pete for sharing.
My daughter chose this book as her prize at Barnes and Noble for reading over the summer break. It's a paperback, short and sweet. The story is cute, Pete is a great character, and this is fast becoming a story time favorite at our house. -
Like _The Bad Banana_, _Big Lunch_ is another favorite in my household. The odd food items reminds us of _The Very Hungry Caterpillar_ in the best way.

Pete the cat is hungry, so he decides to make a sandwich, but when he starts building it he simply can't stop. Pretty soon his sandwich is way too big for him to eat alone, so he invites all his friends to join him for lunch. After all, as he says, "Sharing is cool."
This is a fun, silly tale with a nice message about sharing at the end. Many students will enjoy watching Pete's absurd sandwich grow out of control -- way too big for one cat to eat.
Please note: Although this book is billed as an early reader, the fine print calls it a "My First Shared Reading" book and suggests that adults share it with emergent readers. Also, those who expect this to be like the previous Pete the Cat books, with the rhythm and the music, may be in for a disappointment, as the original author has moved on. As a standalone book, however, it's a fun story. -
Our family loves pete the cat. My 5 yr old is taking a pete the cat class at the library next week. We can't wait! Even my 2 yr olds love these stories! And the illustrations are excellent!

LIAM'S REVIEW (7 years old)
This book is so cool. I saw the dog still have a cracker! lol I think everyone should read it. -
It's the first learn-to-read book my preschooler actually showed interest in. For that, 5 stars.
-
Don't judge me, it was a gift and it counts. :-)

Ever since my grandson laid eyes on this book, we have read it at least once a day. I brought it home from the library and I think I have the book memorized at this point. I know I 'll have to buy a copy of it, as he’ll dig to find it amongst the pile of library books. He's only 2 years old and he already knows a good story when he finds one.
The moral of the story is sharing and I like that both Pete and his friends are appreciative of each other in this story. With captivating illustrations, Pete is hungry for lunch, and decides that a sandwich is just what he wants. But, as he makes this sandwich, it just becomes bigger and bigger until finally he realizes that it’s just too big for Pete to eat on his own. The solution? After thinking about it, Pete calls up his friends and tells them to come over.
I like Pete's style: he's cool, calm and collective and so are his friends. It's a feel-good story in which everyone wins. At our house, we like to talk about the illustrations after reading the story: what everyone is eating, who is eating and with what, who came together and where are they sitting, Another great Pete story for our house. -
Pete the Cat: Pete's Big Lunch has a moral of the story, sharing. Pete had fixed a large lunch and instead of saving it all for himself (knowing he could not finish it), he invited friends over to share his lunch with. All of Pete's friends gathered around the table for lunch devouring the food. When the food was gone and everyone was finished Pete's friends did not forget to say, "Thanks for sharing!" Of course, Pete uses his manners and responds with "You're welcome." He even says "Sharing is cool." What a great lesson!
The language in Pete the Cat books makes for easy access for less advanced readers. Each story, including Pete the Cat: Pete's Big Lunch tells an excellent story with a moral that young children can understand. In this case, it was sharing. What a great way to work on reading skills and teach students more about sharing. Young children have a hard time grasping the idea of sharing, so I think incorporating the idea into literature is a fantastic touch. -

Author/Illustrator: James Dean
Reading Level: 1.6
Book Level: K-2
Book Summary:
Pete the Cat is hungry. He is going to make the grooviest sandwich ever! His sandwich might just be too big for just one cat! What is he going to do?
Bookshelf Genre: Picture Books
Bookshelf Mentor Writing Traits:
Sentence Fluency - The sentences in the book have nice rhythm and flow. When the author poses a question, the reader is given clues as to what Pete is going to do. The reader is able to read the sentences with ease due to short length.
I would have my students practice writing short sentences. I would start with 3 to 4 word sentences and using different verbs for each sentence. I would also have them per review their sentences. -
After reading
Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, I picked up a pack of Pete the Cat readers at Costco for Lily. They are all cute, but none of them are quite as good as the first one.
Pete the Cat's sandwich is too small, so he keeps adding stuff until it gets enormous and he realizes he needs to get help eating it. He calls all of his friends. The sandwich is good, and "sharing is cool." I loved how the "sandwich" was just a pile of random stuff, including a loaf of bread still in its bag. Very funny and a fun story about sharing. -
Pete takes the reader on an adventure through lunch - an event to which all children can relate. Pete assembles contents of his refrigerator into a silly sandwich.
This book is great. The colorful, simple illustrations hold kids' attention. The story is just silly enough to keep them engaged.
I would use this book in therapy to assess several different phonemes. Also, it's an easy way to look at how the child handles books physically. It also allows me, as a clinician, to see if the client understands the humor in the story. I recommend it. -
The Pete the Cat series reminds me of David Shannon's David series I used to read as a kid (No, David, David Gets in Trouble, etc) with its silliness and hand-drawn illustrations, and 1st/2nd graders seem to love Pete. In this book, Pete stacks ingredients together to make a sandwich (fish, apples, mayo, beans, bananas, ice-cream) until it's too big for just him, and he calls his friends over to help him eat it all.
"You're welcome," Pete says.
Sharing is cool. -
I wish they made a picture book of this story because it would make a great picture book to read aloud to kids. Since this book is an Early Reader it's not a great size to read aloud to a group of kids. However I did read this story for Story Time, but I used a flannel board and felt items of Pete's sandwich and Pete himself. So I didn't use the actual book, but I wrote out the text and did some paraphrasing to fit my needs for Story Time and used that.

This was a cute book for sharing. My daughter loves to read the Pete the Cat books and has ever since she was a baby. This would be an easy book to use in the classroom to teach the children the benefits of sharing and how to share. Very colorful and creative so also very appealing to the children eye.
