      Did you hear that? You know what that means. Something's just arrived in the magic mailbox. Let's see what it is.

      [chimes tinkle]

      Yay, my favorite, Pete the Cat. And we know what that means. It's a Pete the Cat book. "Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes." Sounds like Pete's headed off to school with some pretty cool shoes, huh? Well, I can't wait to see how his day at school goes. Can you? Well, if you have your own copy go grab it and we can read it together. Alright, let's get started.
