Mr. Putter and Tabby Walk the Dog

by Cynthia Rylant Narrated by John McDonough

Overview

Old Mr. Putter and old Mrs. Teaberry are neighbors. When Mrs. Teaberry hurts her foot, Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby, offer to walk her little dream dog, Zeke, for a week. But Zeke is no dream dog. Zeke is a nightmare. On the first day, he drags Mr. Putter and Tabby through the neighborhood. On the second day, he wraps them around trees. On the third day, he chases big dogs until the big dogs turn around and chase them. If they don't think of a way to get Zeke under control, they won't make it through the next four days. Award-winning author Cynthia Rylant's amusing lesson on the power of positive reinforcement will bring a smile to any listener. John McDonough's jolly reading is perfect for this charming little book with the delightfully funny ending.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Watercolor-and-ink pictures squeeze every bit of life and humor out of the stories. Solid fare for easy-reading shelves.”—Booklist —

Mr. Putter and his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, always help each other out in a bind. So when Mrs. Teaberry is unable to walk her “dream dog,” Zeke, Mr. Putter volunteers. But Zeke turns out to be a nightmare. He wraps Mr. Putter around a tree and picks fights with other dogs before Mr. Putter remembers the power of the reward. John McDonough IS the voice of Mr. Putter; children love his personable, grandfatherly voice, which he uses to capture all the outrage and, ultimately, the satisfaction that Mr. Putter feels at Zeke’s behavior. Listeners of all ages, especially those who have known naughty dogs, will delight in this tale. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
