Mr. Putter and Tabby See the Stars is a heartwarming tale about friendship that still has enough goofiness to keep a beginning reader giggling. When Mr. Putter can't sleep because he has a bellyache from eating too many treats, he enjoys the night with his cat companion, and then meets up with his

human companion, whose pet has a bellyache! The art is bright and everyone is always smiling, and the feel-good energy of the book prevades through the story as well.

Mr. Putter and Tabby See the Stars is another adventure in this series that two lovable characters embark on together. A great transitional chapter book, this series is an engaging and enjoyable read for beginning readers. In my 2nd grade internship this semester, the students read this story

during shared reading. I love the characters because they are believable. Students can invest time into these characters and become excited to read more about them in this series. The illustrations are modern and very expressive. By using the context clues, students can easily read and comprehend the plot. In this story, Mr. Putter ate too many jelly rolls and cannot fall asleep because of a stomach ache! Students will be able to relate to this enjoyable story about friendship and memories. The big idea of this story is about neighbors and friendship.
