Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Pete the Cat’s Groovy Guide to Kindness
James Dean · 2020
74/100
👍 Worth It
Pete the Cat's cool-cat persona is a genuinely clever delivery mechanism for quotes from Booker T. Washington and Henry James — it lowers the kids' defenses while delivering real wisdom. It reads more like a gift book than a story, but for what it is, it works well and holds up across a wide age range.
