This beginners book is about a cat names Pete. He his hungry for lunch and makes himself a sandwich. But he finds that his sandwich is too small and is missing a lot of stuff. So he adds and adds to it until its huge, then decides to invite his friends over to share his lunch with them.

Pete the Cat makes his sandwich, and keeps adding more and more until it is too big for him to eat.

The main purpose for writing this story was to entertain a young audience and encourage them to love reading!
