"The gentle, affecting first volume introduces elderly Mr.Putter, who decides that a cat will keep him from feeling lonely.Rylant's texts reflect admirable concern for brevity and meticulous consideration of every word.They are in perfect sync with Howard's expressive sketches, which slip abundant visual jokes into sunny, transparent watercolors and gouaches, and fluid pencil and pastel scribbles."--Publishers Weekly
