The Real Story of Stone Soup | 
“Don‘t worry,” the day. “We can make stone soup.”
I think it is adorable how the book also includes a recipe for egg drop soup even though in the story the boys trick the old fisherman with “stone soup”!

pickThe Real Story of Stone Soup by Ying Chang Compestine, 2007. Traditional Literature. The illustrations within this book are very effective in setting the tone. The illustrators use of watercolor helps to make the story come to life. The young boys in the story trick the fisherman into working for them for once while they prepare a meal for themselves. This book really gets children involved and introduces the idea of critical thinking!
pickI loved this Chinese version of stone soup, which is cooked in the ground. The author mentioned that on a trip to the Xi Shaung Ban Na region of China, she had an Egg Drop Soup version of this soup, which inspired the story. Can‘t wait to try the recipe detailed within! 🍜🍜🍜🍜
