Mr. Putter & Tabby Clear the Decks by Rylant, Cynthia. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780152067151.

Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, are itchy. Not because of fleas, but because it is hot, theyre bored, and theyre out of orangesicles. So when their neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, suggests a sightseeing cruise, theyre excited about an adventure. The boat makes them feel free! Plus they get orangesicles! But when its time to go home, theres a little problem with Mrs. Teaberrys good dog, Zeke. The nineteenth Mr. Putter & Tabby book has all the sly, sweet humor that has made the series a huge success. Cynthia Rylants perfect ear for rhythm and Arthur Howards comical illustrations continue to bring to life the quartet of characters readers know and love.
