School Library Journal - 01/01/2025 K-Gr 2—Pete the Kitty visits the beach and decides to make a sandcastle with the help of his friend Jessie the mermaid. Together they build the towers and walls and dig a trench. But the castle is missing something. Jessie dives under the sea and returns with a shell, some pebbles, sea glass, strands of seaweed, and sticks of driftwood to decorate their sandcastle. When it is all done and Pete fills the trench with water, they both agree that their sandcastle is the best. With one to three short sentences per page, some word repetition, and sight words, this title is appropriate for those working toward becoming independent readers or for shared reading. VERDICT Although light on story, the familiarity of the Dean team's beloved feline character makes this a recommended purchase where those other early reader titles are popular.—Jessica Marie - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
