With the new release of one of Bashful Book Bee’s favorite series, this week’s book of the week is Pete The Cat and His Magic Sunglasses by Kimberly and James Dean. Pete’s story is a collaborative effort with Pete the Cat illustrator James Dean and his wife Kimberly. 

 

The original four Pete the Cat books were created by author Eric Litwin and James Dean as illustrator. 

·         Pete the Cat I love My White Shoes

·         Pete the Cat Rockin in My School Shoes

The Pete the Cat series originated with James pet, a little black cat. Jame’s love of this little cat, and his love of art, have ballooned into quite a creative series.

 James has created another series around his little black cat….his holiday series…
