In this delightful tale by Newbery Award winner Cynthia Rylant, Mr. Putter doesn't share Mrs. Teaberry's enthusiasm for a class on 100 ways to cook beans. And yet-finding it hard to say no to his kind friend-he attends the class with her anyhow, expecting to be bored. But his cat Tabby and Mrs. Teaberry's dog Zeke soon bring more excitement to bean cooking than Mr. Putter could ever imagine-even in his wildest dreams.
