PETE THE CAT AND HIS FOUR GROOVY BUTTONS

Kids will love to count down with Pete in this rocking story that makes counting fun! Pete
the Cat is wearing his favorite shirt—the one with the four totally groovy buttons. But
when one falls off, does Pete cry? Goodness, no! He just keeps on singing his song—
after all, what could be groovier than three groovy buttons?

RHYME: I'M A LITTLE KITTY CAT

I'm a little kitty cat, soft and sweet.

Here are my whiskers, here are my feet.

When I go out hunting, mice beware

Or you might just get a scare!

LITERACY TIP

Instruction with music brings joy to the classroom and motivates children to learn. Singing helps children learn to express themselves, learn literacy skills, and about the world around them. It also helps your students concentrate, develop listening and speech skills, retain information, visualize, and build their imaginations.
