Mr. Putter and Tabby Spill the Beans by Cynthia Rylant

Mr. Putter and Tabby Spill the Beans
I would say this is a mini- chapter book that would give students good chances to predict certain events that occur throughout the book. It seems like Mr. Putter and Tabby are a series of books with different topics. This particular story is about how Mr. Putter's neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, talks him into taking a cooking class about 100 different ways to cook beans. They both own pets and brought them with them to the class. The instructor gets to about the 14th way to cook beans, and their pets start to get restless. Needless to say one of the animals tips over a table and the beans go flying. I thought this was a fun story and can see a lot of students getting a kick out of the humorous parts, such as beans flying everywhere and a table getting tipped.
