Mr. Putter has decided to write a book–a mystery novel, to be exact. But being a writer is way more challenging than it looks. There’s all that empty white paper to fill, all those tasty snacks to prepare (and eat), and then there are the naps. . . . This delightful new addition to the Mr. Putter and Tabby series is a tribute to good stories, delicious snacks, and wonderful next-door neighbors. And with its hilarious send-up of the challenges of the writing process, it’s sure to become a favorite with aspiring authors of all ages.
