Pete the Cat's Groovy Guide to Love: Tips from a Cool Cat on How to Spread the Love

48 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | December, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-243061-8 $12.99

(4) K-3 Pete the Cat series. Musings on love from a wide range of subjects--Lucille Ball to Marcel Proust to Confucius--are offered by cool cat Pete, whose huge expressive eyes add humor to the textured pen-and-ink, watercolor, and acrylic illustrations. Pete's thought bubbles provide "groovy" (if unilluminating) interpretations of quotations: e.g., alongside Virgil's "Love conquers all," Pete thinks atop a mountain peak "Love makes anything possible!"
