Gr 1-2-Told in four chapters, this gentle tale exudes warmth and understated humor. Mr. Putter embarks on a spring porch-painting project, only to be foiled when Tabby chases an inquisitive squirrel and Mrs. Teaberry's dog pursues a chipmunk, resulting in pink and blue footprints all over. Later, they all have a good laugh when a pink squirrel and a blue chipmunk run by. The text and illustrations convey the affectionate relationship between Mr. Putter, his cat, and their neighbors. The clearly rendered illustrations primarily done in greens, pinks, and yellows and outlined in pencil make this easy-reader a perfect choice for any weather.-Diane Janoff, Queens Borough Public Library, CLASP Office, NY Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|
