Why read it?
1 author picked Pete the Cat as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Pete the Cat the First Thanksgiving is on my list because I wanted to include a book that told the story of the origins of Thanksgiving. Sometimes a historical book like that can be a dry read that young readers tune out for. But add in a familiar character like Pete the Cat (who is loved by so many kiddos), give him a starring role in the school play, and the topic becomes something that holds their attention much better.
From Wendi's list on Thanksgiving for children.
