    In 2004, Kimberly & James Dean sat down at their kitchen table to collaborate on a children's book together. Their dream finally became a reality with the release of Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. Both left corporate jobs in the late nineties (James was an electrical engineer, Kimberly worked in the press office of the governor of Georgia) to pursue their passion for art, and they have experienced a life made up of strange and wonderful coincidences ever since. Pete the Cat has brought magic into their lives.

    As a parent always on the lookout for tools that make learning enjoyable, I can confidently say this Pete the Cat phonics set is a winner! My child (age 2) absolutely loves Pete the Cat, so combining that familiar character with early reading practice has been a huge success in our home. The quality of the materials is solid, and the colorful illustrations keep things engaging. The stories are silly and upbeat—just like Pete himself—which makes learning feel like play. I highly recommend this set. It’s groovy, educational, and honestly, a joy to use!

    Muy curiosa esta lectura dirigida, amena. No me ha gustado que los libros van encuadernados con grapas, para niños lo veo peligroso aunque no he visto ningún incidente por ello. Hojas de grosor de cartulina, no especialmente resistentes. Materiales justitos, para un contenido OK. Tamaño manejable.
