Banjo's Book Recommendations and Mousie Recon -- "Pete the Cat Saves Christmas" by Eric Litwin

Daddy Tim says that books about Pete the Cat are very popular with little humans. Bubble reviewed on way back in September 2013 when she was just starting to read with Daddy Tim. She liked it well enough...but we haven't read any others about him.
So Daddy Tim brought me this book to read for the holiday. And...I like it well enough. I don't know why little humans like Pete so much, there are better picture books with cats in them. I've read a lot better...maybe it's because some of the books are also songs or have songs in them...or they look at the artwork and think "I could draw just like that!"

ANYway, this is the story of when Santa was sick one year at Christmas. Now, we believe in Santa at our house, but he is not a cat--this must be the Santa of Cats--like each species has it's own Santa to deliver them prezzies...although this one seems to deliver to human kids too.
So Santa is sick and he calls Pete the cat to deliver his toys for him. Interesting choice, Santa Cat..but I guess we wouldn't have a book if you didn't call Pete.
Pete says he'll do it "And although I am small, at Christmas we give, so I'll give it my all." And he makes a song about it. He hops in his van and drives from Key West where he lives (my Daddies went there this year! They want to live there...it looks like there are more sunbeams there than here, so I'm all for it).

The Kitty elves help Pete load his mini van.
Then they hook up the reindeer & Pete takes off.
He sings his little song a bunch of times for extra confidence. And he gets the job done...returns to the North Pole and Santa and the kitty elves say thank you.

The end.

Well, little humans, I still don't get the attraction...but it's an ok book. The pictures, though distorted and simple are nice. So I give this book three treats. Happy Holidays every one! I hope your Christmas Catnip is extra sweet!
Bubble is just crazy for bouncy yellow ball. Ours has an easter bunny on it which makes it wobble funny. She doesn't even need a Daddy to play with her. She just whacks it and chases it. Sometimes it goes under the big daddy-hypnotizing light box. We have had the ball forever...in fact it's older than Bubble! I am thinking the mousies are using it to distract Bubble and the Daddies while they work their nefarious plots...so the next time she plays with it, I am going to watch the mousies!
