Mr. Putter & Tabby Smell the Roses (Mr. Putter & Tabby, 24)

I used these as readers for my late 1st grader/early 2nd grader. I love how many series Cynthia Rylant has done on different reading levels, and Mr. Putter and Tabby were as fun as the others we have used. I have found that my children learn to read better when they love the characters, and they always love Cynthia Rylant's characters. In these books, the characters are cautious Mr. Putter, his very sanguine neighbor Mrs. Teaberry, and their pets, which suit them each perfectly. Each story is gentle and fun. Mr. Putter grits his teeth and goes with Mrs. Teaberry's newest wild scheme, her dog Zeke is crazy, his cat Tabby wants to rest, and Mrs. Teaberry bakes him wonderful goodies. They are kind to each other, and he reminisces about boyhood days... really sweet stories. My son told me when we were going through all of these that reading was his favorite time of day.If you haven't delved into Cynthia Rylant's many series for many reading levels, you can do a google search to figure out which one might work best for where your child's skill level is.

We have every single Mr. Putter and Tabby book and we love them all! I started reading them to my grandson when he was about three or four and now he can read them to me. Every one of these stories is humorous and heart-warming. Mr. Putter, his fine cat Tabby, Mrs. Teaberry and her good dog Zeke are all wonderful characters that you and your family will fall in love with.

Most of Mr. Putters are just wonderful. It is a unique series, and it is wholesome, something all children should have in their library.

My 6 year old granddaughter and I love Mr. Putter and Tabby!

It is on a little hard side of reading level among the Mr. Putter series. (I would say reading level 3.0 or a bit hight.) The story is so cute just like any other Mr. Putter series book.

I love all of the Mr. Putter & Tabby books and own them all. I have read them many times to children during my teaching career and the children loved the stories and laughed along with the antics of Tabby and Zeke. Now I am able to share them with our grandchildren. I have also used them as a substitute teacher.

Good, sweet and funny stories for kids. Colorful ilustraciones. Long time fans

Another winner in the series.

Love Mr. Putter, Tabby, and Cynthia Rylant!
