Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes: 01/27/12
The book also teaches some colors, specifically red, blue and brown. Pete the cat ends up stepping in strawberries, blueberries and mud. He's got to be the calmest cat ever because he doesn't get upset. He just keeps on singing his song. And that song, since I'm not all that musically inclined, is why I prefer the audio book. Really, I guess, it's more of a read along CD but we've put the CD in the car and the book's on the shelf at home. The song is more than catchy; it's an ear worm. And it makes my daughter laugh. As Pete would say, "It's all good." Five stars. Other posts and reviews:

Back in July of 2010, I realized I was adding books to my wishlist but I wasn't making any effort to actually read them. In fact my reading was entirely haphazard. While I still like a little randomness to my reading for finding those hidden gems, I do want to make an effort to read the books people have recommended to me either in person or on their blogs. Since I started specifically reading books from the wishlist I maintain on GoodReads, I have read 191 books. Most of these books I'm reading via my local library, but some of them I've also bought. Books I've finished in the last month or so include:
Ex-wishlist books I am currently reading:
Ex-wishlist books on hand to start soon:
My wishlist stands at 1002. It was briefly down to 986 books but over the holidays I got carried away with adding up coming books. Cat Secrets: 01/26/12
The cats inside the book are protecting their own book, a book of secrets. Their book is a handbook for being a cat — the stuff you'll need to know beyond purring, napping, and meowing. But before you can learn to extra special things a cat needs to know, you, dear reader, have to prove that you are a cat. Now if this were a book about tricking a group of people to get their secrets, then it would be a book about lying. That wouldn't be cool. But this is about cats. Cats are silly creatures. I don't know about you, but my cats, are already convinced I'm a cat, or that they're people. So asking young children if they can pretend to be a cat, especially if they already live with cats, is both good and fun. The interrogation by the cats in the book lends itself to group reading. I can easily see a room full of giggling children trying to be cats during story time. Five stars. Other posts and reviews:
