Flannel Board Story<\/h4>\n

Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes<\/span>
\n\"\"\u00a0<\/a>
\nBased on the story of the same name by Eric Litwin, with art by James Dean<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nPete the Cat has a new pair of white shoes that he loves, but as he sets about his day, he encounters many different things that change the color of his shoes.
\n\"\"
\nFirst, a large pile of strawberries turns his shoes red!
\n\"\"
\nNext he walks through a pile of blueberries! (I know they look white in this picture, but the felt is really a light blue color.)
\n\"\"
\nOh no! Now he walks through a puddle of mud, turning his shoes brown!
\n\"\"
\nThen he walks through a bucket of water, which gets rid of all the brown, blue and red on his shoes. \u00a0They are white again. \u00a0But now they are wet!<\/p>\n

There’s also a fun song that goes along with this story! \u00a0You can find and download it from the HarperCollins Soundcloud page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
