Stone Soup Hardcover Book

Ages 4+ / Grades PreK+

Three hungry soldiers marching toward a French village cause the villagers to busily hide their food in mattresses or barns. When the soldiers arrive, a battle of wits ensues over how to make stone soup. As the story progresses, the soup needs a carrot or two, some meat, and more, until a banquet is spread and everyone dances into the night. This old tale is retold and illustrated by Marcia Brown. Hardcover, 48 pages.
