At first Henry's very neat cousin doesn't like the cookies from under his bed or Mudge's slobbery kisses, but when they all play frisbee, she begins to enjoy her visit.
While enjoying autumn weather and activities, Mr. Putter, realizing how much he misses going to school, takes his cat Tabby, their adventurous neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, and her cake-loving dog Zeke to "Show and Tell."
When Henry decides to have a snack, his puppy Mudge tries several different ways to get it, including jumping on Henry's lap and head, drooling, and being cute.
When Mr. Putter cannot sleep after eating too many of Mrs. Teaberry's pineapple jelly rolls, he and Tabby take a moonlit stroll that ends with the perfect neighborly gathering.
Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby, along with Mrs. Teaberry and her dog, Zeke, try ballroom dancing in the 21st installment of Cynthia Rylant's ever-popular early reader series.
