  • Fun, effective and engaging way to build reading skills
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! ... show more

  • Wholesome, fun, and perfect for little readers—Pete the Cat wins again!
Pete the Cat has become a huge part of our family routine, and this 12-Book Phonics Fun! set has been an absolute treasure for my 2 1/2-year-old daughter. She loves Pete the Cat so much that we’ve started watching the cartoon together on Amazon Prime, and she even gets a Pete the Cat sticker every morning before school. It’s become such an important routine for her that skipping it would lead to a meltdown! These books are the perfect size for little hands, and they’re so easy to read. The stories are simple but engaging, with a phonics-based structure that makes them great for helping young children learn to read. Even at her age, my daughter knows the stories so well that she can tell me what’s happening on each page. She doesn’t always get the words exactly right, but her enthusiasm and understanding are incredible to watch. What I really love about Pete the Cat is how wholesome and positive the character is. His stories teach important lessons about sharing, kindness, and being a good friend—all in a way that’s fun and easy for kids to understand. Pairing these books with the cartoon really brings the stories to life and helps kids connect with Pete’s cool-cat personality. For me, these books also hold a special place in my heart. My mom, who was a kindergarten and pre-K teacher before she retired, instilled a love of reading in me and always emphasized how important it is for children’s development. She passed away earlier this year, and when I saw these books on Amazon, my daughter immediately called them “Mimi books” (what she called my mom). I had to buy them. Seeing how much joy they bring to my daughter reminds me of my mom’s love for teaching and reading. This set is a fantastic value—12 books for such a great price! The stories are short, so we can read several at a time without feeling overwhelmed. My daughter loves bringing them to me, then to her mom, and sometimes even to her Pop to read. With so many books to choose from, it keeps things fresh and fun. If you’re looking for an engaging, educational, and heartwarming book series for your little one, you can’t go wrong with Pete the Cat. These books are simple enough for early readers but still fun for parents to read aloud. Highly recommend them for any child or as a gift for a young reader in your life! ... show more

  • Fun and helpful for early readers!
My kids love Pete the Cat, and this phonics set makes learning vowels fun! The books are colorful, simple, and great for practicing sounds. Just note—they’re small and a bit fragile, but perfect for beginners with some guidance.

Perfect for gifting to a kindergarten or first grade classroom as well. ... show more

  • Great start for developing readers
We noticed our 3 year old picking up an interest in reading, we purchased the Pete the Cat phonics books to help develop her interests further. She really enjoys the 12 short stories and has read a few pages of each book which is helping her learn to read and build confidence in reading. The build quality of the books aren’t the best as they are all stapled paper backs, but you are getting 12 short stories for around $10 so the quality in the assembly is bound to be shotty. The print quality of the books are great, and there were no noticeable defects in the print or text. Overall this was a decent purchase for my developing reader. I would recommend; 4 out of 5 stars. ... show more
