Book Review: Pete the Cat books by James Dean
What can I say, the kids these days are obsessed with Pete the Cat. Probably because he's so cool! My toddler son got Pete the Cat's "Wheels on the Bus" book for the holidays. I had never heard of him at that time, but the two months following has completely changed that! We checked out "The Cool, Blue, Magic Sunglasses" from the library, and my son loved it too! We were at the Children's Museum and while going in between the airplane room and train room and ambulance, my little boy saw a Pete the Cat book on a book shelf and wanted to sit down and read it! It was about his white shoes turning different colors. We also got online and watched a bunch of Pete the Cat videos, which were basically like watching someone read the book, with a little bit of moving animation and zooming in. Then we went to the library and heard someone at the children's desk asking where the Pete the Cat books were. She was told they only had a Christmas one in right now, the rest were checked out. I told her I just returned one, but it's probably not on the Recently Returned shelf yet. Pete is Popular!! Also, our cat Marlo is now called "Pete the Cat" sometimes by the boy. Probably because Marlo is a pretty cool cat, too.

Book Review: Matthew's Truck
Matthew's Truck is a book I just happened to pick up at the Iowa City Public Library. My 2 1/2 year old son liked it. A lot. We would have to read it 3 times before we could move on to another book. The good thing is, this is a short and easy book to read, so reading it 3 times in a row isn't such a bad deal. The artwork is entertaining too- he likes to watch Matthew's truck splash in the fish tank and he likes to watch the kitty "hiding" on every page. At the end, the other trucks go into the garage while Matthew's truck gets to sleep next to Matthew's pillow. The "other trucks" are just trucks on Matthew's comforter, but my son really likes the part where they all go into the garage.
I went on Amazon and bought it instantly for one cent (plus shipping).
