Publisher Description
Mr. Putter and Tabby love the snow, especially when they watch it fall from inside their warm house. But one day Mr. Putter wants to read the funnies so much that he goes outside in the snow without a hat on to get the newspaper, and catches a bad cold.
Tabby tries to make him get well, but Mr. Putter is still miserable. He remembers when he was younger his mother would make him tea and soup and they’d read adventure stories. He says to Tabby, “Colds aren’t so much fun when you’re old.” But Mr. Putter’s neighbor Mrs. Teaberry and her dog, Zeke, have a plan to make Mr. Putter feel better, and that plan just might include an adventure story.

"This is a great series for 1st and 2nd grade readers. Great stories and illustrations. This one, in particular, is a standout to me because of Zeke the dog and Mr. Putter's fond memories including adventure books helping him feel better through a cold."

" I like the Mr. Putter books. They are fun to read to children, as well as being a great beginner reader. This book follows the pattern of all the Mr. Putters and would be a great book to read to a child who has a cold or is home sick. "

" This is about a man who got a cold and he didn't have any friends. His neighbor then helped by having the dog bring over soup and a comic book. I would use this in a classroom to help teach the students to help their neighbors. "
