Description
A Caldecott Honor Book with remastered artwork for its 75th anniversary. Three soldiers come marching down the road towards a village, and the villagers quickly become busy preparing food, hiding it from hungry visitors. However, the clever soldiers outwit them by creating a special soup using just three round stones. To make this stone soup truly perfect, they need some additional ingredients - a carrot or two, a cabbage, and so on. First published in 1947, Marcia Brown's retelling of a French folktale is a lively picture book that brings a festival of activity to life through her art. Young readers will enjoy the energetic and playful scenes, full of dancing and laughter. This charming story showcases the resourcefulness and creativity of the soldiers as they turn a simple idea into a delicious meal.
