Mr. Putter and Tabby Pick the Pears

Title: Mr. Putter and Tabby Pick the Pears

Author:  Cynthia Rylant, Illustrated by Arthur Howard

Published: 1995

Pages: 39


Take a cruise through the children's section of a library, and it won't take long to bump into many of Cynthia Rylant's books.  She really has a gift for good storytelling.  When my son and I discovered the Mr. Putter and Tabby series, I just fell in love right away!

You might think Mr. Putter and his fine cat Tabby look ordinary, but they get into some pretty extraordinary adventures!  When Mr. Putter starts dreaming of pear jelly, he'll do just about anything to get those pears.  The description of some of the other things he was dreaming of made me hungry too.  I had to run out and buy tomatoes so I could make stuffed tomatoes.
 
(I stuffed mine with cooked rice, browned turkey burger, and cheese.  They were great!)  

After a "ladder problem" and some other misadventures, it's Mrs. Teaberry and her good dog Zeke to the rescue.   Find out how fortunate Mr. Putter really is to have a good neighbor!
 
I hope you enjoy this fun Fall adventure.  You might want to have a snack on hand though.  

xoxo,
Kelly
