About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is experiencing a 'too much of a good thing' moment, whether that is a long school break that has lost its luster or a new toy they have grown bored with. While many children's books celebrate the magic of snow, Pete the Cat: Snow Daze addresses the inevitable slump that occurs when routine is lost and novelty wears off. It is a gentle tool for helping children recognize that structure and social connection at school are just as valuable as play. As a My First I Can Read book, it uses short sentences and familiar vocabulary perfect for emerging readers ages 4 to 8. Pete is a calm, relatable guide who helps children navigate the transition from excitement to boredom and finally to a renewed appreciation for his daily life. It is an excellent choice for normalizing feelings of restlessness during extended holidays or unexpected weather events.
