Mr. Putter and Tabby
Look at the Stars

by Cynthia Rylant
Illustrated by Arthur Howard

Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby, both like to sleep. They sleep everywhere, even in their bed.

What could happen that could keep Mr. Putter from sleeping? His stomach starts to growl!

What could make his stomach growl? Too many of Mrs. Teaberry's yummy jelly rolls!

What will Mr. Putter and Tabby do?
Could a nighttime walk outside to see the stars help?
Can you guess what surprise is waiting around the corner?

Mr. Putter and Tabby will want you to write a story about your grandparents!
