Another Wonderful Rylant Treasure! 20 September, 2007 As usual, Cynthia Rylant has written us a funny, warm story about Mr. Putter and his fine cat Tabby. Each book in this series is an excellent addition to every library. My daughter and I read them over and over, enjoying them more each time. The illustrations are perfect. Just be sure to get a copy for everyone who loves reading a great book.

A Few Concerns 03 July, 2006 I love Cynthia Rylant books. I collect them by the dozens for use in my classroom. I was a little concerned with this book because the character was sneaky in getting his pet on the train. I don't like to give my children the idea that it is okay to be sneaky to get by the rules. I'm not sure that I will put this one on my shelf.

This Is My Favorite Of The Series 01 June, 2007 I'm a hard core Cynthia Ryland fan, and the Mr Putter series is my favorite of her prolific works. I love how she brings older people (Mr Putter and his delightful neighbor) to life, and shows their passions and yearnings, and their humanity... in ways that kids can understand and relate with.

Charming But Be Aware The Message You're Sending 23 February, 2006 I love the Mr Putter books as well as Cynthia Rylant's work in general. This book is a charming addition to the series, and one especially good for kids who love vehicles/trains as my little boy does. **However, if you're trying to be super-careful about what moral messages you send your kids, you should know the plot before you buy this story. Pets are not allowed on trains, so Mr Putter & Mrs Teaberry _smuggle_ Tabby and Zeke onto the train with them. Not so good for teaching kids to respect rules...**
The bottom line: I read this book with my son because we both enjoy it, but eventually he will start to notice how Mr Putter breaks the rules and we'll have to have a discussion about it.

Riding A Train. 05 October, 2005 This book is a reminder of how pleasant it is to ride the train, even though they do smuggle their pets on-board.
