Trick or Pete

One of the things I loved about Frisco ISD was the immersion in children's literature my children received on a daily basis.  Whether in the classroom or in the music room, they were constantly being read great children's books. 
One of the books my kids fell in love with was Pete the Cat.  The books do not convey a profound life lesson, but they are cute, catchy, and colorful.  We have had to purchase every book containing Pete (there are just 3-4 of them), so imagine my children's excitement when they heard that Eric Litwin was coming here... to Colorado.
I rushed to buy tickets in August, and we have been marking our calendar daily to count down to the big event. Finally, on Thursday night, it happened.  There was a spooky forest, trick-or-treating, Pete himself, AND Eric Litwin signing books.  After patiently waiting in line, the kids were able to meet Mr. Eric. Not only did he sign their books, but he was SO nice, asking each child (even the smallest) a few questions.  It was a night to remember.
