Review

#23 in this series celebrates the compatibility of Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby, and their shared enjoyment of books. Neighbors Mrs. Teaberry and her enthusiastic dog, Zeke, are up for any new adventure including reading stories together at the library Story Time. Readers learn from these familiar characters that there are different ways to enjoy books, stories, reading and the library. Short chapters, colorful and expressive illustrations and a well paced story make for an excellent addition to this early reader series. The library setting and final "Book Swap" chapter with the implied message to accept a book recommendation from a friend will make this a favorite with the adults that young readers live with.

Overall Book Score: excellent
