Mr. Putter & Tabby Walk the Dog

Reach for this book when your child is learning the value of helping others or when they need a gentle laugh about the unpredictability of life. While many stories for this age focus on peers, this charming series highlights the sweet, intergenerational friendship between Mr. Putter and his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry. In this installment, Mr. Putter volunteers to walk a high energy dog named Zeke, only to find himself in over his head. It is an ideal choice for children who are transitioning to longer stories but still need the support of beautiful illustrations and humor. The book subtly models empathy, patience, and the idea that even when things go wrong, the effort to be a good friend is what truly matters.
