Mr. Putter & Tabby Stir the Soup (Mr. Putter & Tabby)
Mr. Putter and Tabby love homemade soup. But when at last they have all the right ingredients to make some, they find that their treasured stove, Bessie, is on the blink. Luckily, their neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, is happy to share hers. But watch out--her good dog, Zeke, would much rather run than cook. . . .

This is a story about an elderly gentleman and his cat, his neighbor and her dog, making soup. It sounds a bit dull, right? This book had my son rolling on the floor he was laughing so hard.
I love these books, the whole series. They are warm and funny. Mr. Putty is so earnest, and kind, and polite. It’s just that funny things keep happening to him. Often in children’s books the elderly are described as crotchety or addled, but Mr. Putter is so easy to identify with. The illustratio...more

Excellent series, fabulous illustrations. More under Mr. Putter & Tabby Pour the Tea.
This is another fun book in the "Mr. Putter and Tabby" series. Once again, Zeke is a pest, but Mr. Putter and Tabby are good neighbors and are patient with him. It's a fun book to read aloud and short enough for young children.
Zeke's antics and Old Bessie's refusal to turn on threaten to spoil Mr. Putter's plans to make soup. Will Mrs. Teaberry arrive in time to save the day? One can never go wrong picking up a Mr. Putter and Tabby book.
My kids really really love Mr. Putter and Tabby. This one is their favorite (and they frequently say "Jiminy!" and then tell me it's from this book) :-)
Cute, silly, fun read. Nice short chapters.

The book was very fun and kept the children engaged and wondering what would happen next! Very good way to get children started on chapter books!
Favorite beginning reader series for my kids, and favorite book of the series. How can you not love Mr. Putter?
When Bessie, Mr. Putter's stove, conks out, he has to make his soup at Mrs. Teaberry's house. Unfortunately, she's just on her way out to shuck oysters with the girls. Mr. Putter can still use her stove, but her good dog Zeke will be in the house. That's no problem. "Zeke's not a bother," says Mr. Putter. The next chapter, of course, is titled "The Bother." Another delightful entry in an always delightful series.
Good level 3. Another amusing story from the Mr. Putter and Tabby series.
One of the best of the series. This story of the misadventures of Mr. Putter and Tabby as they try to make soup cracks my 4 year old up. She asks for it again and again.
I love all of the Mr. Putter and Tabby books.
One of our absolute favorites! We love just about anything by Cynthia Rylant, the Mr. Putter & Tabby series in particular. We have read and re-read this book and every time we end up in tears from laughing so hard.
