Mr. Putter has a cold. Though his cat, Tabby, tries to comfort him, he finds that it’s no fun to be old with a cold. Fortunately, his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, tries to nurse him back to health by sending her dog, Zeke, over with thermoses of chicken soup and tea — and even an adventure book strapped to his back. Mr. Putter knows he’s on his way back to health as he curls up with Tabby and Zeke for a good read. This gentle story and others in the Mr. Putter series offer a dose of coziness in an easy-to-read format.
