This book was great in that it was good at helping Pete realize that he was in control of seeing some not so good things in a whole new way.

My sevens and four year old loved this book about having a positive outlook and attitude!

Pete the Cat and his Magic Sunglasses is a colorful picture book from the Pete the Cat Series. In this book Pete the Cat was having a bad day, so a friend told him to wear these slades that change your perspective. As Pete walked down the street many of his friends were sad so he told them to wear the shades and they were happy. He thought he was happy because of the sunglasses but realized that you have to look for the good in everyday.

That cool customer Pete the Cat returns in this fifth picture-book devoted to his adventures - the first not written by author/songwriter Eric Litwin - finding that for once he's not feeling quite happy. Fortunately for him, he is given a pair of magic sunglasses by his friend Grumpy Toad, and his new eye-wear improves his outlook considerably. As Pete encounters a number of other creatures who are having a bad day, he shares his glasses, and spreads the joy. But when his glasses break, is it the end of the good times...?Anyone familiar with the Pete the Cat formula knows that the answer to that is a resounding no! Always one to embrace a positive outlook, our feline hero in Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses learns that although a specific item (like the glasses) may prompt us to see things from a different perspective, once we've seen matters in that new light, we don't necessarily need the original prompt, in order to continue doing so. Although I do appreciate that message, I have to say that the narrative here lacked something of the sing-song quality that the earlier Pete the Cat books, written by Litwin, had. The artwork on the other hand, which continues to be done by James Dean, is just as bright and colorful as ever. Although not as good as some of the earlier books, in my estimation, I would still recommend this one to Pete the Cat fans, especially if they're looking for a story with a little bit of encouragement to look on the bright side of things.

A great book to teach kids the power of perspective. A bedtime favorite in our house!

I liked this book for many reasons. This book had a great plot that young readers could follow. The problem in this story was that “Pete the Cat did not feel happy”, which made him feel very grumpy. Also the book pushes readers to broaden their perspective in life. In the story the Old Owl explains to Pete “You don’t need magic sunglasses to see things in a new way. Just remember to look for the good in every day”. This book main message is important for students to see the good even in difficult situations.

Pete's pals help him see things in a new way.

This funny story is about Pete the Cat and what happens to his mood when he wears his cool Blue sunglasses. It can be used to teach predictions since the events in the story are unlikely and interesting as Pete changes to help others with the help of his magical glasses.

Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses is about a cat who was having a bad day until he found magical sunglasses. When he puts on his magical sunglasses everything is seen differently and it makes him happy. As Pete the Cat is skateboarding around town he runs into several other animals who are unhappy. He lets each of them wear his sunglasses to see things in a different light and they become happy. At the end of the story, Pete the Cat falls off his skateboard and breaks his magical glasses. An owl who is watching from nearby, tells Pete the Cat that his sunglasses didn’t change his view and make him happy, but seeing the good in every day makes him happy.

Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses by Kimberly and James Dean drew my interest because like the authors, I am a cat lover. Pete is having a bad day until his friend Grumpy Toad gives him some cool, blue, magic sunglasses. Pete shares his glasses with different animal friends, and they all become happy. This book has a positive message despite Pete's initially disappointment at the end. Great read-aloud for preschoolers to third grade, with wonderful illustrations.

Fun story about Pete the Cat who is not having a good day. When Grouchy Toad comes and shows him how his sunglasses can help make the day better, Pete starts sharing the sunglasses. What will he do if they break? Great story for reading aloud. Your kids will have a blast with it!
