Mr. Putter & Tabby

Written by Cynthia Rylant
Illustrated by Arthur Howard

When Mr. Putter writes a list of good things it starts with yellow cats—like Tabby. Add good neighbors like Mrs. Teaberry; good dogs like Zeke (who only sometimes tugs on his leash and chases other dogs and runs through fresh paint); homemade soups and apple pies; model airplanes; and train trips with cards and games and banana crunchies, and you’ll have a good idea of what stories these warmhearted books hold.


Praise for books in the Mr. Putter & Tabby series

“The humor in the illustrations as well as in the text will keep readers glued to the pages. The story is great for reluctant readers since the chapter-book format, short sentences, and mix of illustrations and text per page are perfectly balanced.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)


“Meticulous consideration of every word . . .Winsome and warm-hearted, these books could become instant favorites.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
