It was a cute and neat book. I felt bad for Pete when he was told he was dancing wrong. It was also pretty funny how he just waked away when something went wrong.

I liked this book in every way! ... except for that Pete never apologizes!? I understand that his friends didn't use their words nicely when they commented on his dances, so in both scenarios, everyone needs a better attitude. I think that walking away is sometimes the right choice, but for the age range this is most appropriate for, I just wish there was more enforcement of manners and social niceties.

This is an excellent book to incorporate into teaching addition and can also be used as a brain break activity.

I think this might be my favorite of the Pete the Cat titles. It might be that it struck a cord with me in regards to some things going on in my personal life right now. I've been writing and I had kind of rough feedback from an editor lady and it made me feel like maybe I should give up writing. I'm pushing through that. I can't give up on writing now, not when I've just gotten it back. And that's a lot of what this book is about -- doing something you love even if other people don't think you're "good at it" and that sometimes the joy of doing something is more important than whether or not you have talent at it. So yeah, my fave Pete the Cat title, even if it is a little like that "I hope you dance" song.

Pete the Cat, great as always - and a clumsy dancer, like so many of us. But enthusiastic! And that is really all that matters.

Read this for a cat story time and then did the cool cat boogie. Kids really loved it! Pete the Cat is always a hit.
