Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, like sharing music with their neighbors Mrs. Teaberry and her good dog, Zeke. But when Mrs. Teaberry decides they should join a band, Mr. Putter isn’t so sure. He doesn’t even play an instrument--in fact, neither does Mrs. Teaberry. But they aren’t going to let that stop them!

Kindergarten-Grade 2?When Mr. Putter and his next-door neighbor Mrs. Teaberry decide to join a band, they soon learn that sometimes the best harmonies are found through friendship. Unsuccessful at finding the type of music that would appeal to them and their pets, Mrs. T suggests that they form their own band. Mr. Putter attempts to learn to toot a horn but ends up using it to hold up a tomato plant instead. His friend is more talented, and she is soon able to pluck away at a mandolin. The pair realize that while the dream of a band is lost, they can enjoy Mrs. Teaberry's music together. Beginning readers will enjoy the short chapters that introduce a variety of musical terms including brass, jazz, opera, and Irish jig. The pencil-and-watercolor drawings are well suited to the story and are filled with subtle humor. The pastel hues that dominate the artwork reflect the story's smooth tone and summery setting. Once again, this duet has hit all the right notes.?Maura Bresnahan, Topsfield Town Library, MA
