Pete the Kitty's Outdoor Art Project

Join Pete the Kitty as he gets creative in this I Can Read story from New York Times bestselling team Kimberly and James Dean.

Pete the Kitty loves art class. But when the project is to go outside and make art from nature, Pete isn't sure what to create. Then inspiration strikes and Pete realizes that nature art is cooler than he ever imagined!

He likes to draw, he likes to paint, and clay is always super groovy. Pete checks his desk. An empty bag is waiting by his seat. The teacher announces that today art is moving outside to gather treasures from the yard. Pete is not so sure grass and twigs can make real masterpieces. Soon his bag is packed with leaves, blossoms, sticks, and an acorn. Watching his classmates make flower crowns and pinecone critters sparks brand-new ideas.
