Pete scuba diving is fun!
The Pete the Cat books are such a great series for children to get into for beginng reading and are definitely worth the money. The structure is simple enough that children can pick up basic reading very easy and each novel always has a positive message behind it. As of this review, I can confirm that children of 3 and 4 years of age can read this book and will enjoy it.
My Kids Giggle Through The Whole Thing
This is a cute little story for early readers or young kids. Pete the cat goes on a scuba adventure looking for a seahorse but can't find one. Little does he know but the sea horse is following him around at all times. My kids giggled on each page as Pete can't find the seahorse that is tickling him on the foot. This is about right for a 1st grade reader. It isn't all phonetic 1 and 2 syllable words, but the words and sentences repeat and are pretty simple. We love Pete the Cat and this one is another early reader winner
Cute!
Pete the cat goes scubba diving and wants to see a seahorse. The fun part is that the seahorse is on every page but Pete does not see it. Little kids get very excited about finding the seahorse and trying to tell Pete it is right there. Personally i wish the animals were more accurately represented as seahorses rarely ever swim up high in open water out of the safety of sea grass etc. But I understand that was necessary to create enjoyment in the book for the kiddos.
We want to go on every Pete adventure!
We Adore Pete the Cat books at our house! This one is especially cute and my boy loves repeating the words. Great for teaching children to read simple words cute pictures fun story lines!
Finally a real first grade reader
Cute story will appeal to boys and girls. I got lucky considering Amazon is very misleading in their search engine. Our six year old can read this by himself and takes pride in his accomplishment. Highly recommend.
We love Pete!
My kiddos love Pete the Cat and this little book was no different. Easy to read for small kids and beautiful pictures and detail. Lovely little story we all enjoyed at bedtime!
Kids love this!
Kids love Pete the Cat! Very fun to read and nice for learning with word repetition for increased word recognition. With the word repetition, kids don't get so frustrated and sustain attention. The illustrations are also great and help with word/concept identification.
great book
daughter LOVES Pete the Cat books and this was no exception, glad they keep these relatively cheap!
Perfect for the kiddos
Such a cute book and written in a way the kids I teach can all understand, despite learning and language delays. I think it's perfect for 3-5 year olds. The pictures fill up whole pages, and the writing is definitely good for kids, with 1-3 short sentences on each page.
Fun.
Loved the book , this series is a must for pre schoolers and young kids it’s easy to understand and it helps them to clearly see the words for their understanding of words as well.

Great to read to your preschooler
"Read it again Mommy, again!" That's my little daughter who can't get enough of this book every night before bedtime. She loves to call out the different sea creatures Pete the Cat encounters with each page, looks concerned when the cave becomes very dark and he can't find his way out, then smiles from ear to ear when he finds a way out of the cave and finds out what's been tickling him during his dive. This is the first Pete the Cat book we've bought for her, and it definitely won't be our last! Great to read to your preschooler!
One of the better books of the series!
Although I was in the education world years ago, I had never heard of Pete the Cat until my oldest son started Kindergarten. After he begged me to get these books, I started liking some of them a lot. I have bought a few that I feel are literally pointless or complete copies of other stories (Halloween one!), but this one is a pretty good one. I like that it is a cat going scuba diving... that's funny to the kids. Plus, the entire seahorse part is funny to the kids as well. So, definitely entertaining and has some educational parts that the kids find interesting.
Great book for a great price
Great book for a great price. I bought to donate to a non-profit organization and this was the best price I found! Will most likely order again.

Scuba fun
Pete the Cat is a great first reader for my 4yo. She loves the stories and I love how the simplicity of the sentence structure gives her readi g confidence.
Fast shipping

My little girl loves Pete! She was reading 98% of words in these books before she even started Kindergarten. Now I get her the books because she enjoys reading them and because they have cute stories and repetitive sight words that help kids familiarize themselves with the words and gain confidence.
Rolled boom
The book is good. My only hesitation is that the book was rolled during delivery.
fun and perfect for the beginning reader
My kids love Pete the Cat and the set of books for beginning readers is great. The sentences are short and vocabulary are at the perfect level for the beginning reader. We have almost all the books as well as some of the more non beginner books as well. highly recommended!
Quality Product
My grandson loves Pete the Cat. The price was way less than buying in the store. Early reader books will get used again and again as they learn to read.
Out of the mouth of babes!
"Can we read it again RIGHT NOW?!?!" asked my four year old emerging reader, upon finishing this book! It was an instant hit! Synopsis: Pete is on an adventure to see many ocean creatures, but especially a seahorse, after the captain whetted his appetite by telling him about it. As he traverses the wide ocean world, he discovers many interesting fish and places but never seems to put two-and-two together that there is a seahorse following and tickling him the whole journey through! Of course at the end, it all comes together! The children giggled, and their mother loved that they were learning about all kinds of aquatic animals as we went along! If you enjoy this, another hearty recommendation would be the "hilarious" book
Age appropriate
My Grandson loves it
My grand kids loved this book
I was able to read to them on zoom. The book is entertaining with lots of picture. Our 3 yr old boy is a diving devotee with his own diving costume, with goggles and fins. He watches diving instructional video on you tube for fun. His 6 year old brother loved it too. It is a good introduction to lots of kinds of sea life. The 6 year old enjoyed reading a few of the lines.
Great book
No dislikes this is a great book For two years to five my granddaughter loves it carries with her all the time
Great starter book or quick book to read to young kids
Nice, easy book for young children to read. Perfect short stories that are exciting for the kids.
Always Love Pete the Cat!!!
Our son really enjoys all the books by James Dean. You can tell as a beginning reader that by the end of the book, he’s reading the harder words very easily. We get every one that comes out. Very very pleased !
Love the Cat
My oldest really enjoyed Pete the Cat and I’m hoping my youngest will, too. This book is short and easy to read in just a few minutes
Cute book kids loved it
Great paperback book my daughter used it for her pumpkin book report and we enjoyed ever second of it
Great book!
My 2 year old daughter loves this book. We have read it so much and have read it back to back. I also enjoy this book and I'm glad that she'll get many years out of this book once she learns how to read.
Great beginner book
Great book for littles who love to be read to and who are learning to read. The words are just right for kids and the themes are perfect. We love Pete the cat books!
Cute book!

Great addition to the collection
Pete is at it again! We love Pete the cat around here, & this is a good book to add to our collection! The story is beautifully illustrated, & written well. My 7 yr old reads it to me frequently. If you have a Pete the cat fan on your shopping list, or a child learning to read, this is a great find.

Fun, involved book for early readers!
What a fun book! My kiddo really enjoys this Pete the cat tale specifically for the hide and seek game that is built into it! I would definitely recommend this for early readers.
Great fun story at a great price!
Granddaughter loved reading this book! She loved the pictures & it's pretty good for beginning reader!
Cute story, a bit advanced compared to other books at this level.
I felt like some of the words were a bit tough compared to other books that are first readers but my kids love Pete the Cat and this is a cute story. They think its so funny that it takes him the whole book to realize a seahorse has been following him while scuba diving!
Great
This was for a special little girl in a friends 1st grade class. She has read it 4 times
Great book for early readers
Bought this book for a Level 1 elementary early reader. She loves it! Great book for a great price. So happy.
Best Pete the Cat book we have read!
Darling story about sea animals and a seahorse that follows Pete during his whole scuba adventure. My 4 year old squeals on each seahorse page when we "tickle tickle" like the seahorse. This is the best Pete the Cat book we have read in my opinion, and we have at least 10.
A very nice book for little ones.
Pete the Cat is a great series to spark your kid's imagination. A cat going scuba diving...now that's just wonderful. This book is appropriate for little ones perhaps in kindergarten or even first grade. My son loves it. The small book size is also ideal for him.
perfect for new readers
Perfect for my 4-year old who has just started reading. The repetitive characters are great and she really likes them. The books are relatively short and the pages are one or two lines. Perfect for new readers with easy words and relatively few difficult words.
Fun book
I love the Pete the Cat series. This book is fun because there's a seahorse following Pete the whole time and he doesn't see it, so my toddler thinks it's funny and likes to point it out. Not as good of a lesson as some of the other books in this series, though.
Good reading
We love Pete the Cat.

Pete the Cat books never disappoint!
Pete the Cat is a popular kitty in my house with a 6 year old, 5 year old and 3 year old! My six year old (first grade) reads it to my younger kids. It's challenging enough that I feel he is enhancing his reading skills but simple enough not to frustrate him. My 3 year old just loves anything Pete!
