For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. Even after he gets caught rocking after bedtime and sent to live with the squarest of the square Biddle family, Pete can get them rocking in no time! That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth. Pete and Jimmy are total opposites, and have to live together.  The last thing Jimmy needs is Pete turning everything upside down. But, when Jimmy has a surprise pop quiz in art, it’s Pete to the rescue! Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!

Best enjoyed by ages 2+
