I saw Eric and James perform this book at the Dublin Literacy conference and I could hear them in my head while I was reading it. Fun book with a good message.
The Pete the Cat books always bring back bad memories of a horrible coworker who loved them, but the books themselves are quite catchy and fun. I liked the "fifth" button included. ;)

The joys of being an educator is that I get to read books during the day and memorize them because they are read at least 5 times during the day.
Not much to story, just the typical counting book. Cute ending.
picture book, storytime, song
Pete dons his favorite four groovy button shirt. But as he goes about his day, he keeps loosing buttons! Oh no! But does he get down about it? Goodness no! Once all of the buttons have popped off of his shirt, he realizes that he still has one that he will never loose... his belly button!
I. Adore. This Book.
SUCH an amazing storytime book. You can't help but groove along with Pete's button song (which you HAVE to sing during storytime. Not sure how it goes? Check out http://www.petethecatbooks.com/). After loosing a button, we are asked, "How many buttons are left?" So there is the obvious math you get from subtracting one when each button pops off. The equation is even included along with the numeral (3) and the number written out (three).... a very important early literacy bonus. Dean also provides us with lots of colorful illustration to point to and talk about. What color are the buttons? What is Pete the Cat doing while all of these buttons pop off?
And here is a super simple craft to go along with it that we have been talking about in our summer reading program 2016 workshops!

Cool illustrations and great overall message but not super engaging.
