Pete the Cat stories are great for teaching lessons about handling problems and deciding what is worth worrying about.  "It's all good!" and "Goodness, NO!" are phrases children pick up on quickly and they will chime in as you read the stories.  If you have colored buttons to use as you read this story, it can become a math/color identification lesson as well.
