Publisher Description
Ever since he was a boy, Mr. Putter has always loved planes. And he still loves playing with toys--even though he is pretty old. While visiting the toy store with his fine cat, Tabby, he decides to buy a brand new, red and white, remote-controlled biplane! Remembering when he was young, how he stayed awake at night wishing for such a toy, Mr. Putter thinks about the boy he met earlier that day. The boy was a little shy, clumsy and forgetful--just like Mr. Putter was when he was that age! Being the great guy he is, Mr. Putter does something very special for the boy ... Newbery Award-winning author, Cynthia Rylant has numerous children's books to her credit, including the Henry and Mudge series and the Mr. Putter and Tabby series. John McDonough's thoughtful narration makes listening to the entire series a true delight.

"Kiddo's first completed "chapter" book. He did a great job with this one! The story was cute and interesting enough to make him want to read on. This is probably Level 2 or 3. We did have some vocabulary to cover and a few rules to review. But it wasn't overwhelming for him. "

" Loved it! What I like about the series is that is about an old grandpa and who is kind of old. I think it helps kids to see things from others point of view besides other kids their own or similar age! Very endearing story about generosity! "

" We really enjoy Cynthia Rylant's stories and the Mr. Putter and Tabby series of books are fun to read aloud. I love the perspective of an older person and I think it helps children understand more about senior citizens. The story is sweet and we enjoyed the ending very much. "
