If you think you're too old to do kid stuff, then read Mr. Putter and Tabby Fly the Plane by Cynthia Rylant. You'll learn you are never too old.

In the beginning Mr. Putter thinks he's too old ot play with toys. But he buys a toy plane anyway. Will Mr. Putter ever learn tht you're never too old to do what you want? You can do anything even if you are old or young, weak or strong. Who cares what age you are!

This book is good because it teaches kids to just stick with who they are. So read Mr. Putter and Tabby Fly the Plane because it's just right for grown ups and children

Do you think you're too old for toys? Then read Mr. Putter and Tabby Fly the Plane because it will teach you that if you are old you can still get toys. You are yourself and you can do whatever you want.

In the beginning Mr. Putter went to the toy store, and he thought that he was too old for toy airplanes. The he realized that he is himself and his life was all about planes since he was a kid. So he bought it.

If you're the kind of reader who like characters that think they're too old for things, then read Mr. Putter and Tabby Fly the Plane.

This book is a great children's book, as our ALL in this series. It is the one series that myself and my two children always look for on our bookmobile that visits us every week in town. They simply are great stories, that really leave you with a good feeling inside. You can really see the love in the stories.

Excellent book for beginning readers 1998-12-30
The flowing language and engaging text and illustrations encouraged my 6 year old son to try to read this "all by himself". Unlike many "early reader" books, the language is not awkward, and the repetitions are very natural. A pleasure.

A delightful, whimsical story for young... and old! 1998-07-18
My daughter, 4, loves this story best of the several Mr Putter and Tabby stories that we have read. Unlike so many children's stories, this one (and the others in the series) convey a sense of real sense of human (and cat)character. The relationship between Mr. Putter and Tabby is loving and supportive. Most important, each story -- and especially this one -- communicates a wonderful sense of life lived with joy, respect, compassion and the muted simple little "heroics" of everyday life. In this case, sharing a wonderful red-and-white remote controlled biplane with neighborhood youngsters, especially with one boy who reminds Mr. Putter of himself as a boy.

While directed mainly to children 4 to 8 years old, they have touched by wife and I as much as my daughter as we have read them at bedtime. The small price of these books is more than worth the time spent and re-spent in the simple, caring world of Mr. Putter and Tabby.
