BR 1-10: Mr. Putter & Tabby Take the Train (Cynthia Rylant, 1998)

 
 
It would be the best train ride of his life. (P.28)
 

One day Mr. Putter and his cat, Teddy, were cooking some oatmeal when Mrs. Teaberry called.
Mrs. Teaberry said "I have an idea!", but Mr. Putter was not sure he wanted to hear Mrs. Teaberry's idea because her ideas were odd.
But, he asked, she said "We should take a train!".
He loved trains.
When he was a boy, he rode them all the time. He loved the big windows and smooth seats and traveling backwards. But he hadn't been on a train in years.
They are going to go tomorrow and bring them pets.
At station, the ticket woman said "Pet can't go on trains."
One hour later, they went back to the station and bought their tickets.
They packed them pets in them bags.
Mr. putter enjoyed and was so happy he thought he would burst.
