Pete the Cat: Go, Pete, Go!

Written by James Dean

Narrated by James Fouhey

New York Times bestselling author-artist James Dean brings us a new Pete the Cat adventure, a special reimagining of “The Tortoise and the Hare” as a race between Pete and Turtle, in Pete the Cat: Go, Pete, Go!

Ding, ding. There’s nothing Pete the Cat loves to do more on a sunny day than ring his little bell and pedal fast on his bicycle. But on this sunny day, Turtle wants to race someone in his new car. Vroom, vroom! Pete and his bicycle are up for the challenge!

And when Pete crosses the finish line, he proves it’s not where you’re going that matters, it’s how groovy of a time you have getting there!

Pete the Cat loves to pedal his bicycle fast. So when Turtle shows up in his brand new red race car, he wants to race. “Who wants to have a race?” he asks.Grumpy Toad’s motorcycle has a flat tire; Emma’s car is too old and slow. Callie’s bus is a work of art . . . and it’s not meant for racing.Pete volunteers to race Turtle even though his bicycle has no motor. Pete just wants to try his best and have fun.What will happen when Turtle and Pete race?=========This reimagining of the fable of the tortoise and the hare has a few surprises for the young reader. Turtle’s speedy race car has fins and tires that inflate into mag wheels. But Turtle, like the Tortoise, believes he cannot lose . . . he’s so far ahead of Pete that he can stop at the diner for something to eat [and dessert]; later, he will stop for lemonade and a quick nap. Emulating the Hare, Pete simply keeps on keeping on, never giving up, and wins the race. Young readers are sure to cheer for Pete’s accomplishment as they learn that slow and steady helps them succeed. With easily-recognized, well-known, and beloved characters, the young reader already has a strong interest in the book. Highly recommended, especially for fans of Pete the Cat.
