5.0 out of 5 stars simple kindness and humor

I used these as readers for my late 1st grader/early 2nd grader. I love how many series Cynthia Rylant has done on different reading levels, and Mr. Putter and Tabby were as fun as the others we have used. I have found that my children learn to read better when they love the characters, and they always love Cynthia Rylant's characters. In these books, the characters are cautious Mr. Putter, his very sanguine neighbor Mrs. Teaberry, and their pets, which suit them each perfectly. Each story is gentle and fun. Mr. Putter grits his teeth and goes with Mrs. Teaberry's newest wild scheme, her dog Zeke is crazy, his cat Tabby wants to rest, and Mrs. Teaberry bakes him wonderful goodies. They are kind to each other, and he reminisces about boyhood days... really sweet stories. My son told me when we were going through all of these that reading was his favorite time of day.

If you haven't delved into Cynthia Rylant's many series for many reading levels, you can do a google search to figure out which one might work best for where your child's skill level is.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Struggling Reader Loves Mr. Putter & Tabby!

My 7-year-old daughter is a struggling reader. She loses interest in books quickly and gets frustrated with "big" words (6 or more letters). Any time I try to help her, she says reading is too hard and both of us end up feeling exhausted and discouraged after finishing a book.

This story held her attention! She actually wanted to push through the "big words" to see what was going to happen next. We giggled. We talked about what we thought was going to happen next. For the first time, we actually enjoyed reading together. She even wanted to go to the library to find more books about Mr. Putter and Tabby. This series is helping change my daughter's attitude about reading. I couldn't be more thankful!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the cutest kids' series ever

If you've never read this series, do yourself a favor and try one. I have an 8-yr-old who still enjoys them even though he reads at a 5th grade level. The stories are funny and engaging, especially if you love cats. I love how the main characters are an old man and his old lady neighbor (and their pets). It's just a sweet series and the artwork is so cute. They make great read-alouds too.

I buy Mr. Putter and Tabby books to read to my grandgirls, who love them. I began reading these to them when they were 2 1/2 and 5 years old, and I buy the new books as they come out and the grandgirls still like me to read these to them even though they are now 10 and 13!

We love these books and the latest Mr. Putter and Tabby adventure doesn't disappoint. Their fun in the snow made us smile. I've recommended Mr Putter and Tabby books to friends for many years and they are always pleased. Our favorite is always Pick the Pears, but this one is a treat to read too.
