Reviews for Pete the Cat

[abigailadams26 · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

With St. Patrick's Day approaching, and everyone in his class wanting a leprechaun for good luck, Pete the Cat decides that this is a business opportunity not to be missed, setting up a stand to sell leprechaun catchers. Unfortunately for our upbeat feline hero, Clover the leprechaun is always one step ahead of him. Will Pete ever catch him? Or will he learn that luck is obtained another way...?Although I have read almost all of the full-sized Pete the Cat picture-books, as well as a number of the early readers, because the character is so popular at work, I have to say that these later additions to the series feel distinctly like coattail riding. I can see young fans finding Pete the Cat: The Great Leprechaun Chase a fun St. Patrick's Day story - there are twelve St. Patrick's Day cards included, as well as a poster and a sheet of stickers - but for my part I thought the story and rhymes were poorly done. I have a few Irish friends, moreover, who get a little... testy, at the prevalence of leprechauns in Irish-themed books from the states. Recommended primarily to determined admirers of the character.
