Newbery Medal winner Cynthia Rylant pens the humorous tales of Mr. Putter and his cat Tabby. In their 14th adventure, Mr. Putter and Tabby spend a lovely morning eating apple jam and raisin crumpets when suddenly Mr. Putter remembers it's his birthday. He decides to celebrate by inviting Mrs. Teaberry over for tea, but Mrs. Teaberry keeps calling to delay her visit. Will she make it before it is tomorrow-and someone else's birthday?
