When their neighbor Mrs. Teaberry hurts her foot, Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, volunteer to walk her dog for a week. They soon discover that Zeke isn’t a dream dog after all. He might even be . . . a nightmare! After three days of Zeke's tugging, wrapping around trees, and chasing other dogs, how will Mr. Putter and Tabby make it through the week? Illustrator Arthur Howard captures their humorous predicament in lively watercolor-and-pencil illustrations.

Simple language and a hilarious storyline make this book perfect for the voracious or the reluctant reader. Mr. Putter and his cat tabby are a delightful pair, and their encounter with the neighbor's nightmare pooch will have kids laughing aloud. The accompanying illustrations only add to the text.Perfect for children to read on their own, or with the help of a parent (because parents will find these stories equally charming).

I've bought numbers of the Mr. Putter books for my granddaughters, and since I identify with him and his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry, I adore reading the books. The stories express gentle care of the neighbors for one another. I read one review critical of the deception the couple exercises in taking their pets on the train. My granddaughter and I, however, read the story from the perspective of old folks enjoying an outing with pets who snooze throughout the ride. I LOVE Mr. Putter's escapades, and think he is a perfect role model for this grandmother!

My 6-year-old daughter loves these books... They're so colorful and humorous... There's nothing like a child being encouraged to read because the content of the book is so entertaining! We have several in the series and are so happy to have a collection from which she can pick and choose for any occasion. I brought this one on our last vacation (along with Mr. Putter and Tabby Row the Boat) and it was a great addition/distraction while we were away...something fun and familiar to keep her good company... After a while, Mr. Putter, Tabby, Mrs. Teaberry and Zeke all start to feel like family :)

I'm a big fan of all the Mr. Putter and Tabby books. They're creatively written and entertaining for the whole family, not just first-grade readers. Not only are they humorous and often touching, they bring a unique and fun perspective to elderly, retired people, while being very respectful of their age. The relationship between Mr. Putter and his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry is endearing and sweet.In this particular story, Mrs. Teaberry asks Mr. Putter to walk Zeke several days for her. Mr. Putter is used to his mellow cat, Tabby, and walking Zeke turns out to be a lot more exciting than he's used to or prefers. Follow Mr. Putter and Tabby on their adventures trying to walk Zeke instead of letting him walk them!

Mr. Putter books are always fun for children to read when they are getting into chapter books. My niece asked for Mr. Putter books for her birthday because she loves his silly adventures and can read them. Cynthia Rylant is a wonderful children's author.

This story is adorable. Mr. Putter, Tabby and Zeke the dog all interact in a way that is so entertaining. Each of my grandkids, as they reached the appropriate age, loved to read this book aloud to anyone who will listen.

Mr. Putter and Tabby Walk the Dog is one of several books about Mr. Putter and Tabby. You can read their books in any order you want. This is a favorite so we purchased the hardcover copy. The books are especially great for taking turns reading and Mr. Putter and Tabby are always delightful.

I bought this series of childrens books for some kids who speak only a little english as a second language to help them learn to read and pronounce correctly. The stories are quite simple, and easily read, but interesting enough to hold the interest of older (10 & 12) beginning readers.
