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).

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.

The Mr. Putter and Tabby books are all wonderful. We bought the books several years ago when my oldest child was learning to read now they have been passed down twice and all three of my children simply love them. They are humorous and enjoyable. Would recommend them 100%

The Mr. Putter and Tabby series is a set of delightful adventures for young readers. My son was a big fan of Cynthia Rylant's work when he was learning to read and I have now started a collection for my therapy dog's "Reading to Rover" book bag. Mr. Putter & Tabby Walk the Dog delivers amusing misadventures with action-packed illustrations.

You'll not regret the time it takes to read Mr. Putter and Tabby Books. They are treasures and well worth your time!

Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby, are just as nice as nice can be. Certainly, they are the best of neighbors for Mrs. Teaberry when the poor lady injures her foot. Since she can't walk, somebody has to walk Zeke, her beloved bulldog.

Of course, Zeke seems to be the perfect little angel, but sometimes first impressions are not correct. When Mr. Putter and Tabby become his temporary custodians, the truth all comes out, and it's time for Mr. Putter and Tabby to go on one wile ride with Zeke!

Mr. Putter offers all kinds of bribes to the out-of-control Zeke, including ice cream, a carnival and a trip to the zoo! Certainly, those treats would have tamed the wildest child, but not this bull-headed bulldog!

The fabulous laughs here are reinforced by humorous illustrations, every bit as wonderful as the writing!

Mr Putter & his cat companion, Tabby, do the right thing by volunteering to walk the neighbor's dog when the neighbor is injured. The dog takes total advantage of novices & runs them ragged the 1st few days. Mr Putter stoops to bribery to get the dog to behave better the rest of the time. The neighbor never knows the whole story. My guess is Mr Putter & Tabby think twice before offering to help that way again! My 7 1/2 yr old daughter & I have been reading together for yrs & are devotees of Cynthia Rylant's work. We have only been reading the early reader Mr Putter & Tabby series for the last yr. It has the wonderful ability to appeal not only to the new reader mastering the skill, but also to the experienced reader, overseeing the learning process, or continuing to read to the child. This is a feat as many "early readers" captivate the early reader but put to sleep the overseeing adult!
