Pete Makes a Mistake

Praise

“McCully’s ink-and-watercolor illustrations employ expressive line and a cheery color palette to support characterization and plot. The sense of movement in several pictures provides added humor and vitality. A mistake to celebrate.”—Kirkus Reviews
 
“The pen and ink watercolors are whimsical and just right for the spare text. Children who are struggling with certain words will likely be able to use the illustrations as a guide. This spot-on title is perfect for brand new readers.”—School Library Journal
 
“With short sentences and simple words that will suit beginning readers and a large format that gives ample space for the artwork, this picture works equally well as a read-aloud choice for groups of younger children.”—Booklist
