James and Kimberly Deans Collaboration & The Cat Pete



      Collaboration of James and Kimberly Deans creates an interesting character as a cat. The cat Pete is bit groom but has unique features, what children likes most. Like a human, like the animal, the character is playful and unforgettable. I have paid attention how the books covers have been made in terms of design and it 'teaches' how it is important to have a personal statement.
      I would like to have these books:

Groove to all the Pete the Cat books from  







illustrated by James Dean

     Pete the Cat goes walking down the street wearing his brand new white shoes. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as he steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries, and other big messes! But no matter what color his shoes are, Pete keeps movin' and groovin' and singing his song... because it's all good.

     Pete discovers the library, the lunchroom, the playground, and lots of other  cool places at the school. And no matter where he goes, Pete never stops moving and grooving and singing his song… because it’s all good.

     Pete the Cat is wearing his favourite shirt—the one with the four totally groovy buttons. But when one falls off, does Pete cry? Goodness, no! He just keeps on singing his song—after all, what could be groovier than three groovy buttons?





Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses by James Dean, Kimberly Dean, illustrated by James Dean

      Pete the Cat wakes up feeling grumpy—nothing seems to be going his way. But with the help of some magic sunglasses, Pete learns that a good mood has been inside him all along. Watch Pete take his positive outlook and transform a grumpy day into an awesome day.

 

       As well as I like the designed spread below.   

 

     By authors words: ''(...) he once overheard a conversation between a teacher and a little girl. The little girl was crying. The teacher asked the little girl, “Would Pete cry?” And the little girl actually stopped crying. So, children really get the message in I Love My White Shoes, not crying about things that happen, and in Magic Sunglasses, where Pete looks for the good in every day'' (1) it show how humanly is the character as well as the artwork itself with its design.
