New York Times bestselling author and artist James Dean brings readers in for a big school surprise in Pete the Cat and the Surprise Teacher.
When Pete goes to school, he finds out his teacher is out sick and the substitute teacher is . . . his mom! It's up to Pete to teach the teacher what school is all about.
Pete the Cat and the Surprise Teacher is a My First I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for shared reading with a child.

When cat Pete's mom is the substitute teacher (surprise!), the usual routine is upended. Attempts to find the art room misfire; at lunchtime, the class finds itself on the playground. Pete takes it all in stride: "Let's have a picnic." The slight but nicely circular story concludes with an art-y surprise for Mrs. Cat. Loosely rendered, laid-back illustrations help support new readers.
