Arthur Howard (1) (1948–)

Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, are going for a train ride with their neighbors, Mrs. Teaberry and her good dog, Zeke. They've planned the perfect afternoon trip. But when they get to the station, they're in for a big surprise: No pets are allowed on the train! It looks like the trip is off, until Mr. Putter comes up with a clever idea. . . .

When Jeremy was five he wanted to be an astronaut or a cowboy--or both. And he had a best friend named Mark. But now he's six and wants to be a major-league baseball player or a deep-sea diver. Jeremy knows things change as you grow up, but some things just might stay the same--like your best friend. The perfect read for kindergarten or first grade.

It is good for young readers. teachers can ask students how they have changed as they have grown up. It also shows that change can be ok, but some things stay the same.

A little boy narrates what has changed since last year - and what hasn't. (A best friendship persists: "Some things never change.")
