A flashing skateboard. A wacky keyboard. A robotic pup. Can Pete the Cat's baseball glove compete at show-and-tell?
Pete the Cat and his friends show off their favorite toys in this super cool storybook from New York Times bestselling author-illustrator team Kimberly and James Dean.
Everyone is bringing something cool to show the class. Pete the Cat can't wait for show-and-tell. He knows just what to bring—his baseball glove! But when he sees what everyone else is sharing, he starts to worry. Is his glove actually cool enough?
His classmates bring dazzling gadgets to school—Gus skates with a rainbow laser board, Callie plays wacky beats, and Grumpy Toad shares a robotic puppy! Still, Pete worries his trusty mitt cannot compete with such flashy toys.
That baseball glove has a special history—given to Pete by his dad, who got it from Grandpa when he was a kitten. Pete loves playing catch with it, but because it does not flash or make sounds, he quietly hides it inside his backpack.
Join Pete the Cat and his friends as they learn the true meaning of cool!
