Too Cool Sunglasses
Read Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses by Kimberly and James Dean.
“Pete the Cat did not feel happy. Pete had never, ever, ever, ever been grumpy before. Pete had the blue cat blues.”
Grumpy Toad usually was grumpy but on the day he met Pete the Cat, he was wearing cool, blue, magic sunglasses which made him look at everything in a new way.
When Pete the Cat tried them on, he saw the world in a whole new way, too.
Walking along with his new attitude, Pete the Cat ran into his friends, Squirrel, Turtle and Alligator and lent them his cool, blue, magic sunglasses. They saw the world in a whole new way just like Pete the Cat and Grumpy Toad!
Isn’t that cool?
Then Pete the Cat fell and cracked his cool, blue, magic sunglasses.
What would he do without them?
The Wise Old Owl told him the truth: Pete the Cat didn’t need his cool, blue, magic sunglasses to see the world in a new way. “Just remember to look for the good in every day,” the Wise Old Owl told him.
Pete the Cat looks all around him and exclaimed, “Too cool!”
