Mr. Putter & Tabby Pick the Pears (Mr. Putter & Tabby) by Cynthia Rylant
Gr. 1^-3. His "cranky legs, cranky knees, cranky feet" prevent Mr. Putter from picking the pears from his tree. Improvising a slingshot from the elastic of underwear, he sets out to knock the pears off his tree by shooting fallen apples at them. His aim is way off, but all ends happily as a neighbour discovers the apples in her yard and brings cider, pies, and jellies to Mr. Putter. The autumnal theme, a deft mix of slapstick and understatement, and a taut but colourful story will attract and satisfy beginning readers. Howard's ink-and-watercolour illustrations, reminiscent of James Stevenson's work, add character and sly humour to this latest Mr. Putter and Tabby adventure.
