Pete the Cat's 12 Groovy Days of Christmas by Kimberley Dean, James Dean

Rating: WORTHY!

Here's a fun Christmas book (again, it ain't cheap, but it is a hardback) that takes a new riff off the 12 days song, including fuzzy gloves, guitars strumming, and ugly sweaters. It does mention cupcakes which once in a while are fun, but you wouldn't want to eat them every day for twelve days if you know what's good for you! That aside, the book is amusing and well-illustrated, and makes for a worthy read.

Pete the Cat Checks Out the Library by James Dean

Rating: WORTHY!

Pete the Cat. What can we say about him? Hmm. This was a fun little book encouraging children to use the library. Pete is evidently done with his cattin' around days, and wants to pursue some scholarly...er pursuits, so off he sidles to the library and spends a tail-flicking day really getting into some books, imagining he's having the very adventures the books describe, escaping danger by a whisker and leaving the library feline fine.

This was a fun book for young kids with lots of color and cute pictures and I commend it as a worthy read.
