    From Kimberly and James Dean’s bestselling Pete the Cat series comes a groovy story about new beginnings and new friends.

    There's a new guy in town, and Pete can't wait to meet him. After all, more friends mean more fun.

So when Gus starts to doubt himself, it’s up to Pete to convince him that there's something everyone can do. Gus is special in his own way, just like Pete and just like you!

    The message of accepting others and yourself shines through and is perfect for young readers learning to navigate friendship issues. Fans of Pete the Cat will delight in the rhythmic storytelling and fun repetition throughout the book.

      Pete the Cat is eager to meet his new neighbor in this sixth full-sized picture-book devoted to his adventures. Gus the platypus may be quite different from him, in both appearance and interests, but our feline hero thinks that's cool. Then, as Pete and Gus spend some time with the other animals, it begins to look as if Gus won't be able to join in on many of their activities. Fortunately, Gus has an interest - playing music - that everyone can share...Although I appreciated both the positivity displayed in Pete the Cat and the New Guy, regarding the idea of meeting and befriending newcomers, and the message about everyone having their own talents and strengths, I felt that Kimberly Dean's rhyming text was somewhat awkward here, just as it was in her first Pete the Cat title, Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. I definitely prefer Eric Litwin's sing-song narratives, found in the first four books in the series. Leaving that aside, the artwork here was as colorful and fun as ever, and I suspect that determined fans of cool cat Pete will enjoy this venture into his world, whatever the quality of the text.
    • 5/5
      I like this book a lot for younger students. The book has animals talking, as well as playing music. The pictures in this book are really fun and entertaining. I also really like how this book rhymes, especially since it seems like it would be hard to since some of the animal names are hard to rhyme. The theme of this book was that people/characters that are different and that is okay. It shows the strengths and weaknesses of the characters and how they do not make one another better or worse than each other.
