Pete the cat math book
There’s a large variety of Pete the Cat books out there. They come in several formats, including paperback and hardcover, with varying lengths. We’ve loved the early readers, but the current family favorite is one of the best known from the collection. My youngest is totally into Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons. Eric Litwin wrote this story, and James Dean illustrated it.
The book follows Pete the Cat on a day when he’s losing all his groovy buttons, one by one. This story has a lyrical quality to it, making it perfect for singing the math facts as you read. The illustrations are vibrant, bright, and eye-catching for kids. It’s a perfect choice for some basic math work, since it works on simple subtraction and counting down from 4 to 0. The story is also great for kids who stress out over ‘little’ things, since Pete adopts a ‘no big deal’ attitude as his buttons pop off.

Pete the cat worksheets
- Assemble all necessary materials.
- If working on basic counting/number recognition 1-6, the child rolls a single die.
- Next, the child identifies which number they rolled.
- Then, child counts out appropriate number of buttons (or other manipulatives) to match number of die.
- Finally, the child places the appropriate number of buttons onto Pete’s yellow coat.
- If working in pairs, kids can check each others counting/number identification before removing the buttons and passing the printable and die to a friend.
- To work on larger numbers and some basic addition, add a second die to each roll. Kids can identify the number on each die and count out appropriate manipulatives. Then they can count to add them together for the total number of buttons, and add them to Pete’s coat.
This game has quickly become a favorite for my youngest. I’m a big fan of how simple it is to set up, and that it’s not messy at all. Hope you enjoy it too!
