Perfect for you if...

You're reading aloud to children who laugh at physical comedy and gentle mishaps.
You loved the early Magic Tree House or Junie B. Jones books and want something similarly warm and funny.
You appreciate stories where the point isn't winning, but showing up and being part of something silly together.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced action or high stakes. This is cosy and meandering by design.
You're looking for realistic sports instruction or athletic achievement stories.
You prefer books without animal characters, or find talking pets off-putting.

About this book

Mr. Putter and his cat Tabby love to nap, but they need more activity in their lives. When Mrs. Teaberry and her dog Zeke suggest joining a local baseball team, Mr. Putter and Tabby decide to give the sport a try. As Mr. Putter prepares to play, questions arise about whether his creaky knees will hold up on the field and whether Zeke can stay focused without causing problems. Regardless of the outcome, this baseball team's experience will be unlike anything they've encountered before. The illustrations are created in pencil, watercolor, and gouache.
