Our #3 book comes from a familiar author, Cynthia Rylant. The Mr. Putter & Tabby series of books are a great read, just like the Henry and Mudge series. This time we find a charming elderly man who has a wonderful little cat named Tabby. They live next door to a sweet elderly lady, Ms. Teaberry, and her faithful, yet sometimes mischievous bulldog, Zeke.Most of the stories surround the relationship of these four central characters and the adventures they go on together. Cynthia Rylant is very adept at portraying characters whom you cannot help but to fall in love with. The stories are wonderful and described in simple terms for young readers or listeners.
Children will be drawn into the world of these octogenarians and their pets. Our kids still repeat the mantra, "Beans, beans, only beans!" from one of their favorite Mr. Putter & Tabby books. It's no wonder why this title finds its way to #3 in our countdown. Enchanting, cute and always funny. Last week we said a kid and his dog was a winning recipe for a book; well, nothing wrong with and old person and his cat. Pick up your copy today. Your kids or grand kids will love you for it.
