"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!" — Barbara (4 out of 5 stars)
