"This is an especially sweet tale. Mr. Putter's friendship with Mrs. Teaberry (and Zeke & Tabby) is beautiful. Like "Pick the Pears" and so many others, it really blooms here. It is also nice for my daughter to see Mr. Putter remembering his life as a little boy."

Mr. Putter & Tabby Make a Wish Listener Reviews
-
" I just love this series. Anytime grownups, especially older grownups without children around, are the main characters in a book for children, I get a silly grin on my face. I also think it's good for kids to see that life for others exists without them. "

" It's Mr. Putter's birthday and he wants to have tea with a friend. But she makes him wait, and wait, and wait some more! Is it worth the wait? "

" It was a good book because Mr. Putter had to wait a lot for his neighbor to come for his birthday. And he was too old. I read it on my car ride back from Florida. "

" Good Level 3. Mr. Putter and Tabby books offer a great sense of accomplishment because they are "chapter" books. Kiddo likes reading them, they provide a bit of a challenge, a good story, and fun illustrations. "
