Review by Booklist Review
K-Gr. 2. From the format to the gently comic story to the cozy, freewheeling artwork, everything works in this twelfth book in Rylant's series about grandfatherly Mr. Putter and his favorite companion, his orange-colored tabby cat. Mr. P. is all set to make soup, but his stove, Bessie, isn't cooperating. His sweet, elderly neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, offers her cooker while she goes out for the day, but Mrs. Teaberry's dog, Zeke, has plans for the surprised houseguests--and they don't involve cooking. Tender, funny, and absolutely delicious. --Stephanie Zvirin Copyright 2003 Booklist

K-Gr 3-When Mr. Putter and Tabby finally have everything they need to prepare a favorite recipe, old Bessie the stove won't cooperate. Off they go to Mrs. Teaberry's house, but her dog Zeke has different plans for the visiting cooks. Exuberant drawings complement this satisfyingly silly romp. (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
When Mr. Putter's stove breaks, he and his cat Tabby go next door to make soup while their neighbor Mrs. Teaberry is out. However, her pesky dog runs them both ragged, so when Mrs. Teaberry returns, she finds the soup unfinished and Mr. Putter and Tabby asleep. Expressive illustrations add to the humor of this twelfth book about the elderly companions. From HORN BOOK Spring 2004, (c) Copyright 2010.
