Mr. Putter and Tabby Turn the Page by Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Arthur Howard*

Mr. Putter loves to read with his cat Tabby.  When he sees an opportunity to read at the library, Mr. Putter signs up.  Of course, his dear friend and neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry wants to join in the fun.
Written so beginning/transitional readers can read successfully, Ms. Rylant has such a gift of creating lovable, believable characters.
*Highly recommend.
