Pete the Cat shares some groovy words from the heart in this fun collection of all his favorite famous quotes about living an awesome life filled with love.
This cool cat adds his heartfelt take on well-known classics, from Vincent van Gogh to Virgil to Ovid to Charles Dickens, because after all, the best advice is "Love conquers all."

PreS-Gr 2—In the same vein, size, and shape as Pete the Cat's Groovy Guide to Life (HarperCollins, 2015), this new guide places Pete's own groovy tips on love alongside some famous love-inspired quotations. Pete's positive outlook on love, while predictably simplistic, is playful and can be easily understood by a child. Adjacent to Virgil's famous phrase, "Love conquers all," stands Pete atop Mount Everest proclaiming, "Love makes anything possible!" Beneath Lucille Ball's statement "Love yourself and everything else falls into line," Pete stands gazing into the mirror offering, "I'm awesome! I'm groovy!" Bold watercolor, acrylic, and ink illustrations highlight the indigo-hued, lazy-eyed, and lanky-limbed feline. VERDICT Lighthearted, good-natured, and worthy of a spot on any shelf wherever this cool cat is popular.—Brianne Colombo, Pequannock Township Public Library, NJ
