Bookroo's summary

Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby, are ready to make soup, but their stove, Bessie, fails them. Neighbor Mrs. Teaberry offers her kitchen, but her lively dog, Zeke, has other plans. Can they cook amidst the chaos, or will Zeke's antics lead to unexpected surprises? Discover the warmth of friendship and the unpredictability of a spirited pet in this charming tale.

From the publisher

Mr. Putter and Tabby love homemade soup. But when at last they have all the right ingredients to make some, they find that their treasured stove, Bessie, is on the blink. Luckily, their neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry, is happy to share hers. But watch out–her good dog, Zeke, would much rather run than cook. . . .
