"This is going to be a great mentor text to share the trials of being a writer. Mr Putter and Tabby are the perfect ones to show us. I had some of the most beautiful lists of 'good things' from my kids and their families after using this as a mentor text. It's a great celebration of our blessings!"

" We have read all the Mr. Putter books in the library and own a few ourselves. These books are so delightful to the 3 - 6 year old. They will have me read them again and again. The same is true with the Henry and Mudge books. "
