Mr. Putter and Tabby Walk the Dog

by Cynthia Rylant, Arthur Howard (Illustrator)

Overview

In this Level Three I Can Read, Mr. Putter and his cat are dragged—quite literally—into the chaotic, but sometimes charmingly clever, world of dogs.

Mr. Putter and Tabby live next door to Mrs. Teaberry and her dog, Zeke. When Mr. Putter volunteers to temporarily take Zeke on his daily walks as a favor to his neighbor, he and Tabby discover that keeping company with a dog, especially one as energetic as Zeke, isn't quite their speed.

This Level 3 I Can Read! is written for independent readers and includes challenging words and more complex themes and stories.

Editorial Reviews

Watercolor-and-ink pictures squeeze every bit of life and humor out of the stories. Solid fare for easy-reading shelves.”—Booklist —

From the Publisher

Mr. Putter and his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, always help each other out in a bind. So when Mrs. Teaberry is unable to walk her “dream dog,” Zeke, Mr. Putter volunteers. But Zeke turns out to be a nightmare. He wraps Mr. Putter around a tree and picks fights with other dogs before Mr. Putter remembers the power of the reward. John McDonough IS the voice of Mr. Putter; children love his personable, grandfatherly voice, which he uses to capture all the outrage and, ultimately, the satisfaction that Mr. Putter feels at Zeke’s behavior. Listeners of all ages, especially those who have known naughty dogs, will delight in this tale. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
