Mr. Putter & Tabby See the Stars

By Cynthia Rylant and Arthur Howard

“The amusing illustrations energize the story and add to the fun. An excellent choice for beginning and developing readers.”—School Library Journal (starred review) 
 
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 his cat, Tabby, seems to be just the cure—but could it be that Mr. Putter and Tabby aren’t the only ones who are still wide awake?
 
This is the sixteenth in the delightful series by Cynthia Rylant, winner of a Newbery Medal and two Caldecott Honors.
 
“Winsome and warmhearted, these books could become instant favorites.”—Publishers Weekly

Reviews for Mr. Putter & Tabby See the Stars

[esiera1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Mr. Putter and Tabby See the Stars is another adventure in this series that two lovable characters embark on together. A great transitional chapter book, this series is an engaging and enjoyable read for beginning readers. In my 2nd grade internship this semester, the students read this story during shared reading. I love the characters because they are believable. Students can invest time into these characters and become excited to read more about them in this series. The illustrations are modern and very expressive. By using the context clues, students can easily read and comprehend the plot. In this story, Mr. Putter ate too many jelly rolls and cannot fall asleep because of a stomach ache! Students will be able to relate to this enjoyable story about friendship and memories. The big idea of this story is about neighbors and friendship.

I love this series and am every so thankful that kids do, too. I really want to be neighbors to Mr. Putter and Mrs. Teaberry.
