Om den här ljudboken

Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant weaves tales with tremendous appeal to young readers, and her popular Mr. Putter and Tabby series stars two of Rylant's most memorable characters. It's no secret that Mr. Putter does not like to dance. But when his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry develops a fondness for ballroom dancing, she is able to convince the reluctant Mr. Putter to join her for a night at the Crystal Ballroom- with beloved pets Tabby and Zeke in tow, of course!
