Mr. Putter isnt so surehed 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. Teaberrys dog, Zeke, at the class with them, everything takes a chaotic turn when Zeke bites into something surprisingand beans go flying!
