Synopsis

In Mr. Putter and Tabby Walk the Dog, Mr. Putter was dragged through the neighborhood and wrapped around trees when he helped Mrs. Teaberry with her dog. So when Mrs. Teaberry telephones Mr. Putter to tell him about a brilliant idea, he gets a little nervous. Besides, sometimes her ideas involve "running fast or wearing feathers." Mrs. Teaberry wants to take an afternoon train ride with Mr. Putter and their pets, Tabby and Zeke. Mrs. Teaberry hasn't ridden the train since 1938, so when they get to the train station, she is surprised to find that pets aren't allowed to ride. Now it's Mr. Putter's turn to think of a good idea. Cynthia Rylant's humorous characters and situations ensure great reading fun for young listeners. John McDonough's enthusiasm is perfect for this charming little book.

Five stars. I can't help it. I mean, it IS Cynthia Rylant for crying out loud. And Mrs. Teaberry is up to her old shenanigans when she invites Mr. Putter (and their pets) on a four hour train ride. Mr. Putter accepts, although we know he is concerned about the feasibility of pets on a train. The two......more

Goodreads review by Jim on February 25, 2024

Mr. Putter clearly enjoys train travel. The illustrator depicted a flashback where Putter, as a youth, was not content to just watch the scenery roll by. He was clutching the railroad's timetable, a detailed listing of station stops, including their milepost numbers. I can identify with his passion......more

Goodreads review by Luisa on August 08, 2017

Riding on trains was so fun as a kid. I still enjoy them, but the little trains at the town parks that go around in one breathe, don't quite cut it anymore. They sure did when I was younger though. And they make for a great incentive to finishing a book. (hint, hint) Reading Level: 1st - 3rd grades Cl......more

Goodreads review by Julia on January 10, 2019

Mrs. Teaberry brought a tea basket on the train that purred. And Mr. Putter brought a really lumpy backpack. The backpack decided to crawl under the seat and the tea basket kept playing with the window shade. This was funny because Zeke (Mrs. Teaberry's dog) was IN Mr. Putter's backpack. And Tabby (......more
