Putter and Tabby on your selves, I recommend the following volumes: I suspect that even Shakespeare would have groaned at the prospect of attempting something like that. I’m also not sure how anyone could write 20 excellent stories about a kindly old gentleman and his cat. I’m not sure we need 25 uneven stories which must all be previewed by discerning parents before handing over to our children. I wish that Rylant had just given us three to six well-crafted and wholesome stories. Some books make little sense and resort to potty humor or other naughty tricks. I was so sad to see this kind of willful deception, and then a celebration of getting away with it, feature so prominently in a children’s book. After that, we have several pages of antics related to the pets’ dishonest ride. The neighbors return home, stow their pets in a picnic basket and a backpack, and return to the train to sneak the animals on board.
