Synopsis

Mr. Putter can&;t imagine why anyone would need to know one hundred ways to cook beans. His neighbor Mrs. Teaberry can, and she says a cooking class will be something new and fun for them to do. Mr. Putter isn&;t so sure&;he&;d much rather think about an ice cream soda than all those beans. But Mrs. Teaberry has a way of talking him into things.
 
It turns out that learning one hundred ways to cook beans might be more exciting than Mr. Putter ever expected. With his cat, Tabby, and Mrs. Teaberry&;s dog, Zeke, at the class with them, everything takes a chaotic turn when Zeke bites into something surprising&;and beans go flying!

Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 2—Poor Mr. Putter! Once again, he is persuaded to go along with one of Mrs. Teaberry's crazy ideas. In this installment, she wants him to go to a cooking class focusing on 100 ways to cook beans. However, all Mr. Putter wants is a strawberry soda with a cherry on top. Zeke, Mrs. Teaberry's unpredictable bulldog, and Tabby accompany the couple to the class. Once it begins, Mr. Putter begins to snore standing up. Zeke is snacking on a granola bar he finds in someone's handbag just as its owner sticks her hand in. Mayhem breaks out, tables are overturned, the chef faints, and beans fly everywhere. This hilarious story is told with a minimal text that's perfect for beginning readers. Brightly colored cartoons of the animals' antics and the characters' expressions expand the humor.—Nancy Baumann, Indian Paintbrush Elementary, Laramie, WY
