Mr. Putter and Tabby

Mr Putter and Tabby Series by Cynthia Rylant

illustrated by Arthur Howard

This is a favorite series of mine. Delightful text and illustrations. Each story has Mr. Putter and his cat Tabby, going through their days. Sometimes their neighbors, Mrs. Teaberry and her "good dog Zeke" join in their day. A warm, neighbourly look into another generation's life. Each book is told with a quirky sweetness that will delight you.

These are considered chapter books, but they are simple enough for early readers.
