Remind me, the next time I create a fantastic avatar called Pete the Cat who is loved by all as he wades past the blueberries and the mud and just keeps on singing his song, to get a lock down on my contract with the illustrator preventing him from creating a side line of rip off books that just tarnish the name of Pete the Cat with their -10 degrees of originality. Excuse me? Pete the Cat: Old MacDonald Had a Farm is just that. The lyrics of Old MacDonald Had a Farm with some admittedly cute pictures of farm animals. But although those farm animals are cutely bug eyed and he does throw in a frog, there's nothing new here, no subplot, like "Old Macdonald had a Workshop," or anything new to this. If you need a new copy of Old MacDonald, this is pretty cute. Otherwise...
James Dean is either trying to cash in or, even worse, he thinks his pictures of Pete the Cat or more important than the "real" Pete the Cat stories have so charmed us with. I've heard so many people say, "Wow, imagine the writer of xxxx Children's Book got paid to do that, anyone could do that." So sad to think that James Dean might be in that camp.
Here's a strange revenge: because libraries shelve this under Dean instead of Litwin, it won't earn much more than an accidental leadership, placed so far away from the genuine article.

We have two Pete the Cat books ("I Love My White Shoes" and "Four Groovy Buttons") and they are some of my children's favorite books. The Pete the Cat books we have grown accustomed to are original and unique, this one is not at all like what I was expecting. The words to this book are exactly the words to the classic "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" with nothing added or taken out. I expected a little twist on the original song, but there was none.
