Purdue Pete Finds His Hammer Book

Purdue University’s unofficial mascot, Purdue Pete, never looked as endearing as he does in alumna Angie Klink’s Purdue Pete Finds His Hammer. This engaging book is a rhyming, lift-the-flap board book for children—ages 8 years and younger—yet popular with Purdue fans of all ages.

The reader helps Pete search for his hammer among campus landmarks by lifting and peering under fun, die-cut flaps. The rhyming verse helps children learn to read.

Endearing illustrations depict Purdue landmarks: Mackey Arena, Ross-Ade Stadium, the Purdue Fountain, Hovde Hall, the Bell Tower, Pappy’s Sweet Shop, the Boilermaker Special, the Golden Girl, and the World’s Largest Drum.
