Pete The Cat: Too Cool For School

By James Dean

Pete the Cat can’t decide what to wear to school in Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School. With so many groovy options to choose from, Pete just keeps adding on. All of Pete’s friends have a suggestion for what he should wear to school. But by the time he’s added cowboy boots, shorts with fish, his red shirt AND his yellow shirt—and even more—he’s too hot.
