Review
"Comprising seven short, smoothly written chapters, this story offers a bit of action, a bit of humor, and the suggestion that even unappealing new experiences can be worth a try. Fresh and spirited, Howardand#8217;s pencil, watercolor, and gouache artwork brightens every page of this book from the Mr. Putter and Tabby series for beginning readers."--Booklist
