Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School Reviews
-
Read for my toddler this book at the library. Today we learn that to be cool is to be ourselves.
-
I am probably 57 years past the target age group for this book, yet I bet I like it more at my current age than I would have at the 'right' time.
I loved the message - stop listening to every opinion on earth and do what works for you. Be yourself. -
Esse também é bem bom para uma personalidade em formação.

Another fun visit with my favorite blue feline.
Pete the Cat can’t decide what to wear to school. Everyone chimes in— even Pete’s Mom and brother-- with his or her favorites. Wear this and that, Pete. Resulting in a very un-Pete like outfit. Haha….Colorful and funny, but just not Pete.
A tale that teaches readers to always remember to “Just be you.”
I love that Pete evolved into Easy-Reader books. Sometimes using a character that children know and recognize from picture books will help them make the jump to reading on their own. That said though, I have to admit that some of Pete’s magic is gone. Whether it’s the form or lack of Eric Litwin’s touch —Pete’s tone does feel different. Still fun, but not as magical as the first couple of books.
Definitely check out

Synopsis: "Pete the Cat can't decide what outfit he should wear to make him look cool for school. He has so many colorful choices in his closet to choose from, how will he decide on one?
In this hilarious I Can Read tale, Pete learns it's not what you wear, but how you wear it that makes you cool."
My Review: I figured this would be a great book to kick off the school year for Munchkin. This was a fun book for beginning readers with a lot of simple words and sentences and a lot of sight words and color words. It also has a great message about being you and not worrying what other people like. -
The book is about Pete the main character who wants to look cool at school, so he started asking his entourage about what to wear to look cool. At the end, Pete wears his favorite clothes. The moral of this story is very important since it is about being yourself, “if you want to be cool, just be you!”.
This is a silly and funny book which makes it very entertaining for young children. it is an appropriate book to share with emergent readers because it has a lot of repetition and many sight words and short sentences. -
I Can Read! I liked that this book was repetitive enough that the kiddo's reading will be able to read it, but that it introduces new words each page to make it actually interesting. That's a hard thing to do for an easy reader! It also has a cute moral at the end of being yourself.
-
This book is great for encouraging children to be self-confident. Pete tried to do what other people wanted to make himself cool, but in the end he figures out that what really matters is how he feels about himself. The pictures throughout the story are cute and colorful.
-
A wonderful character and fun story that shares the importance of being true to yourself. Being yourself is how you draw people to you- not by trying to be who you think they want you to be. Thanks, Pete!
-
A great beginning reader book with lots of repetition and simple words. The message about being yourself is also a positive one for kids.
-
The ending bumped it up a star! : )
-
This felt overly long to me and I had to help with words a few times a page. But Cal seemed to like it anyway.
-
I don’t care if I’m too old for this, Pete the Cat is amazing.
-
Pete is my husband at this point
-
Pete the Cat wants to look cool, so he asks each of his friends what he should wear. Each one tells him a different thing to wear and after Pete has put on all of those pieces of clothing, he is hot!
And he does not look cool. He looks silly wearing so many different shirts.
What will Pete do? Can he look cool for school?
=========
Young readers will appreciate the lesson Pete learns here: being yourself is the way to be cool.
This I Can Read book uses basic language, word repetition, and illustrations to help young emergent readers find success in reading. As with all My First books in this series, this is a book designed for shared reading with the young reader and an adult.
Delightful illustrations, a well-known and beloved character young readers will instantly recognize, and a clever story all work together to make this a perfect early reader selection.
Highly recommended, especially for fans of Pete the Cat. -
Son Said weird

My childhood bullies should have read this book, then they would have known I was cool for being myself and crying all the time.
-
Recently I read nine (yep 9) Pete themCat books. These books are perfect for grands and great-grands to read with young children. The underlying value system seems to be of the 1960s-70s.
Pete does know what to wear to the first day of school. He takes suggestions. They do nor work for him. Only when he listens to himself do things work out. This book may encourage the readers to talk about listening to that tiny quiet voice inside that tells us our truth. -
Pete's asking everyone what to wear? If he's asking his teacher, where is he getting his clothes from? Is his teacher at his house? Does Pete bring his clothes to school? The title is a bit off putting, I don't want any child to think they are too cool for school. Yikes! The saving grace for the book are the illustrations and the repetitive phrases. I think the publishers must be riding the coat tails of this character which is very sad. If you are going to publish such a book, make it a great one!!
-
Another pedantic book from the Pete the Cat people. I've said before that once Eric Litwin relinquished control, the quality of the books have plummeted.
It's the first day of school and Pete isn't sure what to wear. Different people tell him what is their favorite and he puts the corresponding item of clothing on. By the end, he's got all of his clothes on and is quite hot. He takes it all off and puts on his favorite clothes. -
Pete wants to look cool so he asks others what he should wear, and takes ALL of their advice. Is this the secret to looking cool or not?
A humorous look at people pleasing and the disaster that can result from being too focused on pleasing others, and it is presented in a way that is accessible to kids. Recommended to little people pleasers, and beginning readers looking for a funny read. -
3.5 stars Normally, I don't like these early reader Pete the Cat (they aren't as good as the Originals), but this one was pretty cute! It is all about being your self.! And I really enjoyed saying in a weird southern drawl "It's my favorite!!"
