Mr. Putter soon realizes they have a problem, though; Tabby is so excited by the fish that she can't get any rest. She spends all her time frenetically batting at the fish bowl. She even forgoes her sleep to watch the swimming fish, her tail twitching nervously the whole while. A little thinking soon solves the affair. They ask their friend if she is interested in adopting a fish. Her dog doesn't get worked up over the fish's presence in the house and it all works out. Mr. Putter and Tabby even can visit their fishy friend. The story is simple but appealing, with a quiet humor that is really quite charming. Tabby's agitation over their new housemate is hilarious, particularly for cat owners like us. This book is a nice addition to our beginning reader collection, a type of story that we draw on regularly lately, especially for our bedtime books. We will need to check out more in the Putter and Tabby series.
