Customer Reviews

My son loves Mr. Putter and Tabby!

My mother-in-law gave my son a Mr. Putter book that was being discarded from her elementary school library, and my soon to be 3-year old loved it so much I've bought almost every Mr. Putter and Tabby book that's out there. We pick out one Mr. Putter book to read each night. All the books have very sweet, enduring stories of friendship, and they've introduced him to what "chapters" are in books.

Mr. Putter and Tabby's Best

I have several of Rylant's book in my school library, and this is by far the favorite of the kids. The story is simple enough for the little ones to understand, yet wild enough for the older ones to just laugh out loud. I can not recommend this entire series enough--they are just too funny and the illustrations just really add so much. They are really and truly great books.

Another winner from Mr. Putter and Tabby

Cynthia Rylant and Arthur Howard have created a winning combination in the Mr. Putter and his cat Tabby along with their quirky neighbors, Ms. Teaberry and her good dog Zeke. This latest offering in the series is laugh out loud funny. Mr. Putter and Tabby try to make soup while they are continually pestered by Zeke in his desire for a little attention. Yes, it is a simple story but it's timing is great and the illustrations as always are great. My four year old daughter loves this book and it leaves her in tears of laughter. This is about the 6th book we bought in the series and they have all been great. It is nice to see stories that involve older people and have such winning story lines. I cannot recommend these books strongly enough. With the holiday season still in mind, check out Mr Putter and Tabby Bake the Cake - A great Christmas book
