Early Reader Bedtime Story: Mr. Putter & Tabby Drop the Ball by Cynthia Rylant & Illustrated by Arthur Howard

Read for: Borrowed Books & Early Reader Challenge


Synopsis: "Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, love to take naps — too many naps. What they need is a sport! Luckily Mrs.Teaberry and her good dog, Zeke, know of a baseball team they can join. It's not long before Mr. Putter is ready to play ball, but will his creaky knees cooperate? And can Zeke avoid wreaking havoc on the field? Win or lose, this baseball team will never be the same!"

My Review: How did I never discover this series on the shelves?! Mr. Putter is an older, retired gentleman and Tabby is his cat, and they are looking for things to do. Munchkin really loves hanging out with our elderly neighbors and this was a fun book to read with him. It is easy for beginning readers to read and gain confidence with a lot of simple sentences and sight words. It is a very cute story that is silly and yet sweet at the same time. I will definitely be checking out more Mr. Putter & Tabby books!

My Rating: I really enjoyed this book and so did Munchkin. I think this would be a great one for the Grandparents to read to the little ones.  It was also a great way to kick off baseball season!  We give it a rating of Four Paws!



Good Night! Sweet Dreams!
