(3) K-3 Illustrated by Arthur Howard. A slow winter day turns into a trip down memory lane for elderly Mr. Putter. He joins his more adventurous friend, Mrs. Teaberry, along with their animal companions, for some sledding fun. Five very short, enjoyable chapters and bright, simple cartoonlike illustrations depict equally well the sledding excitement and the relaxing at home after "a day on the slope had worn them out."
