Synopsis

Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, like winter. But when the snow is deep outside and there’s nothing to do inside, even a cozy winter day can be a little slow. Not for long! When Mrs. Teaberry and her good dog, Zeke, pull two sleds out of the garage, the four friends head for the sledding slope for the wildest ride ever. Maybe winter is not so slow after all!

Reviews

PreS-Gr 2—Mr. Putter and Tabby are finding winter a bit slow, so they decide to relive the childhood fun of going sledding. Calling the adventurous Mrs. Teaberry and Zeke guarantees that they are hitting the slopes in no time at all, much to Tabby's twitching discomfort. The exciting race downhill is bookended by the quieter repose of Mr. Putter and Tabby at home, having a warm bath and a nap. A comforting story to curl up with on a chilly winter day, this easy reader features the large font, simple sentences, and skillful use of white space for which the series is well known. The pencil, watercolor, and goache illustrations demonstrate the meaning of newly introduced vocabulary words and expressively convey the feelings of each character. VERDICT Rylant and Howard have mastered the balance between text and illustration for beginning readers, and this addition to the series is recommended for most collections.—Amanda Foulk, Sacramento Public Library
