Based on the popular books series by Kimberly and James Dean, lead character Pete the Cat gets sent to the Biddle family to learn his manners as a trained house cat.

He meets clean, proper and organized child Jimmy, who can’t seem to conquer second grade art. Together, they both learn a little bit about life, communication and relationships.

The students clapped, laughed and cheered throughout the performance, which reinforced class learning in literature, language arts and artistic expression.
