Pete the Cat’s Groovy Guide to Love

Bibiliography: Dean, K., & Dean, J. (2015). Pete the Cats groovy guide to love. HarperCollins.

Book Summary: In this book, Pete the Cat explains what “Love” is to him by saying quotes written by famous people. Some of those famous people include Lucille Ball, Pablo Picasso, John Lennon, Ghandi, Mother Teresa, and many more. He shows children to love their loved ones but overall, to love themselves. “Listen, be kind, and give love”, said Pete the Cat.

Critical Analysis: I am a huge fan of “Pete the Cat” hence, why I chose this book amongst the rest. To my surprise, this book was nothing like I expected it to be. That is not necessarily a bad thing but, I disliked the fact that most if not all of the book only had quotes. There was not plot summary, children usually look forward to a climax in the story because it builds their excitement towards finishing the book. Though the quotes included were beautifully said, full of wisdom, and truth, I also believe that the content might be a little difficult for early readers to fully comprehend.
