Love, love, love these books! My children and i read them over and over and always with a smile on our faces. The illustrator gives the characters (people and pets) such fantastic facial expressions. What a great read!
My 6-year-old daughter loves the Mr. Putter and Tabby 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 with being able to have a fun collection from which she can pick and choose for any occasion. After a while, Mr. Putter, Tabby, Mrs. Teaberry and Zeke all start to feel like family :)
Great books for your beginner reader (these were a hit with 1st graders!). The entire Mr. Putter and Tabby series is very cute and we have almost all of them. They are easy to read and have a good story line in each book. If you are stepping up from stories to chapter books these are a great transition.
My whole family adores the Mr. Putter and Tabby series. I especially love this book. It has a very simple premise and was easy for my children (ages 2 and 4) to relate to. It also has very short chapters, which is exciting to my oldest, emerging reader. Great books.
Cynthia Rylant has created two of the most charming old characters in young children's literature! As an educator, I appreciate the crafting of these books: the language is interesting, the vocabulary rich, and the stories have both humor and substance to them. They are not just fluff, and the children who read them know it. My own son loved all of the Mr. Putter and Tabby books, and we now give them as gifts to our young friends. I highly recommend any and all of them (though my favorites are Mr. Putter and Tabby Pour the Tea, and Pick the Pears).
I have all of the Mr. Putter and Tabby books and this is one of my favorites. I enjoyed the story line and love Arthur Howard's illustrations! He did an excellent job of making Cynthia Rylant's words come to life.
My 7yod and I found these books by Cynthia Rylant several years ago when she was little and we jusy love them. They are very cute stories and the characters are so lovable.
I adore the Mr. Putter and Tabby books! This is the third I've read, and the third I've thought was stellar! :) (the other two were "Clear the Decks" and "Write the Book"). This is a great read aloud, and a great beginner reader book, too.In this story, Mr. Putter and Tabby visit Mrs. Teaberry and her dog Zeke (Mrs. Teaberry always invites Mr. Putter and Tabby for something to eat - and Mr. Putter and Tabby always go). But, this time, Mr. Putter looses track and ends up eating 21 jelly rolls! So, obviously, as much as he enjoyed them, his tummy didn't. Unable to sleep, Mr. Putter and Tabby decide to take an evening stroll through the neighborhood.The illustrations are the perfect complement to the wonderful text. Both are sweet and simple and honest. It's easy to have a perfect understanding of the characters and their feelings and thoughts, and everything is conveyed just wonderfully! From the friendship between pet and human, to Mr. Putter and Mrs. Teaberry, even to Tabby and Zeke!I think this book can stand alone, but after reading one, I WANT to read the rest!!!
