All aboard for an eventful boat ride in this book by a Newbery Medal winner: “Adorable characters [and] delightful pictures.”—School Library Journal
 
Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, are itchy. Not because of fleas, but because it’s hot, they’re bored, and they’re out of orangesicles. So when their neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, suggests a sightseeing cruise, they’re excited about an adventure. The boat makes them feel free! Plus they get orangesicles! But when it's time to go home, there's a little problem with Mrs. Teaberry’s good dog, Zeke… 
 
The nineteenth Mr. Putter & Tabby book has all the sly, sweet humor that has made the series so popular. Cynthia Rylant's perfect ear for rhythm and Arthur Howard's comical illustrations continue to bring to life the quartet of characters kids know and love.
 
Praise for the series:
 
“Besides being wonderful fun, this is a great way to introduce new readers to the chapter-book format.”—Booklist
