ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Pete the Cat’s Groovy Bake Sale (My First I Can Read) – Read Aloud for Children
Pete the Cat is super excited because his school is having a bake sale! He wants to make something yummy to share with his friends. Pete loves all kinds of sweet treats like cookies, pies, brownies, cakes, marshmallow treats, and ice cream sundaes. But what should he make?
Pete decides to make cookies! He gets eggs, flour, sugar, and chocolate chips. He mixes everything in a big bowl and stirs it up. It gets a little messy, but that’s okay! Pete rolls the dough into little balls, and his mom helps him put them in the oven. They wait for the cookies to bake, and they smell so yummy!
Oh no! Some of the cookies are burned. Pete has to try again. He thinks about making ice cream sundaes, but they turn into ice cream soup. Then he tries to make pudding pie, but he runs out of crust. The kitchen is a big mess, and Pete still doesn’t have any treats for the bake sale.
“Don’t worry,” says Pete’s mom. “You’ll find something yummy to bring to the bake sale.” Pete looks around and sees some berries, vanilla pudding, and a few cookie pieces. “I’ve got it!” Pete says. “I’ll use a little bit of everything!”
Pete adds whipped cream and berries to the pudding and stirs it all together. Then he sprinkles in some cookie pieces. He carefully scoops the mix onto a tray and puts it in the fridge to get nice and cool.
The next morning, Pete has a tray of tasty groovy berry goodness. His mom helps him scoop the treats into little cups, and he takes them to school. Pete puts his berry cups on the bake sale table.
“What is that?” asks his friend Kelly. “Groovy berry goodness,” says Pete. His friends try it, and they love it! Soon, all the treats are gone, but Pete saves one special cup. He gives it to his mom and says, “Thanks for your help!”
Wasn’t that a fun story? Pete learned that even when things don’t go as planned, you can still make something amazing. What would you like to make for a bake sale?
Cookie Experiment: Let’s explore what happens when we change the ingredients in cookies! With the help of an adult, try making a small batch of cookies using different ingredients. For example, what happens if you use brown sugar instead of white sugar? Or add a little cinnamon? Observe how the cookies taste and look different. Talk about which version you like best and why.
Berry Goodness Creation: Just like Pete, you can create your own special treat! Gather some ingredients like yogurt, berries, and granola. Mix them together in a cup to make your own “berry goodness.” Try adding different fruits or toppings and see how the flavors change. Share your creation with a family member and ask them what they think!
Observation and Sharing: Next time you have a snack or dessert, take a moment to look at it closely. What ingredients do you think are in it? How was it made? Share your thoughts with a friend or family member. You can also ask them what their favorite treat is and why. This will help you learn more about different foods and how they are made.

Let’s read “Pete the Cat’s Groovy Bake Sale” by James Dean.
Pete the Cat is excited about his school bake sale. Pete wants to bake a treat. What should Pete bake? Pete loves sweets—cookies, pies, brownies, cakes, marshmallow treats, and ice cream sundaes.
Pete thinks, “I’ll make cookies!” He takes out eggs, flour, sugar, and, of course, chocolate chips. He puts everything in a bowl and stirs and stirs, making a big mess. He rolls the dough into balls, and his mom helps put them into the oven. They wait for the cookies to bake, and they smell so yummy.
Then, things smell less yummy—some of the cookies are burned. Pete has to start over. What else can he make? He tries to make ice cream sundaes, but they turn into ice cream soup. He tries to make pudding pie but runs out of crust. The kitchen is a big mess, and he has no treats for the bake sale.
“You’ll find something yummy to bring to the bake sale,” says Pete’s mom. He has some berries, vanilla pudding, and a few cookie pieces. “I’ve got it!” Pete says. “I’ll use a little bit of all of it!”
So he adds whipped cream and berries to the pudding and stirs. Then he adds some cookie pieces to the mix and carefully scoops them onto a tray. Pete puts the tray in the fridge.
The next morning, there is a tray of tasty groovy berry goodness. His mom helps him scoop his treats into little cups, and he brings them to school. Pete puts his berry cups on the bake sale table.
“What is that?” asks Kelly. “Groovy berry goodness,” says Pete. His friends give it a try, and his dessert is a hit! Soon all the treats are gone, but Pete saves one. He gives it to his mom. “Thanks for your help!”
