Book Description

When Mr. Putter eats twenty-one pineapple jelly rolls, he ends up with a grumbling tummy. Worse, he can’t sleep! A midnight stargazing stroll with Tabby seems to be just the cure—but could it be that Mr. Putter and Tabby aren't the only ones still wide awake? 

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. Grade 1–2—Mr. Putter and his cat have never had any problems sleeping. They could sleep anywhere at anytime. One night, however, Mr. Putter's stomach is grumbling and he is restless. Earlier that evening Mrs. Teaberry had made pineapple jelly rolls, and Mr. Putter ate 21 of them. To help his stomach, he and Tabby take a walk to look at the stars and run into Mrs. Teaberry and her dog, Zeke, who also ate too many jelly rolls. With soft pencil sketches colored with watercolor and gouache, the amusing illustrations energize the story and add to the fun. An excellent choice for beginning and developing readers.—Erika Qualls, Ela Area Public Library District, Lake Zurich, IL

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!

I love all the Mr Putter and Tabby books. My all time favorites are Mr Putter & Tabby, Mr Putter & Tabby Paint the Porch & Mr Putter & Tabby Pick the Pears. This one is up there but not a favorite. I do recommend it as I think it leaves the reader wondering if Mr Putter & Mrs Teaberry (the lovely, quirky neighbor) are going to get hitched. Read it to find out why and if you agree.

Mr. Putter's tummy is upset. HE ate too many of his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry's treats. He hand his cat tabby, decide to go for a night time stroll. You will never guess who is out at this time of night as well!
