Mary's Thoughts:
Reminiscent of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, the first line of this book begins, "'Twas the day before Christmas and Santa was ill. In the cold winter wind he had caught a bad chill." Pete the Cat Saves Christmas is both catchy and endearing. After you've read this book once or twice to your students, they will be able to chime in with you. Many of my students love Pete the Cat and cannot wait until they can read the next book. They're going to love this one! After you've read this book once or twice to your students, they will be able to chime in with you.
Pixie's Thoughts:
Meow - woof! Well, even though Pete is a cat, I can't help but like him. He is such a positive, affirming creature. Anyone that gives it his all is okay by me! Don't tell anybody, but I actually love Pete the Cat and I can't wait until his next book comes out. Mom is supposed to see his creator at an upcoming conference....Mmmm, maybe if I am really good she will get me a new Pete the Cat book with Eric Litwin's autograph on the inside front cover! Pleeeeease, Mom!?!
Classroom Applications:
Reading this book over and over again is great for early readers and English language learners. This activity will embed the language of rhyme, song, and story in their minds.
