Have you met Pete the Cat? If not, you should! Pete is an easy going, happy going blue cat created by James Dean, not the famous actor by that name. Pete’s Dean is a former electrical engineer who found a cat at an animal shelter. The concept of “Pete the Cat” books began there after. Dean and author, singer Eric Litwin has collaborated on a series of these funny and positive books. Each book offers an address for a free download of the story and song.
Children at last week’s Story Time met Pete. Pete sometimes seems to experience unfortunate events. Does he cry or get upset? No. He just goes on singing his positive song as if nothing went wrong. After enjoying Pete’s adventure in “I love My White Shoes,” each child made a blue cat with four shoes, not all white ones. Two young ladies, Lucy and Ameliah, again offered their services in assisting the younger hand with the cutting, a new experience with scissors for some.
Story Time takes place each Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in the Children’s Room at the Wiscasset Public Library. However, there will not be Story Time April 11.
