Welcome to Litsy!

Stone Soup is classic TL written and illustrated by Marcia Brown and based on an old French story. Like much of TL, it is meant to entertain and teach a lesson. This tale is about three hungry soldiers who trick villagers into feeding them by inventing “stone soup.” This is a great story when teaching elementary students about honesty and kindness. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/blog-posts/shari-carter/stone-soup-lesson-sh...

This traditional literature book is about soldiers who make soup and outwit the towns people because they are greedy.

This book would be a great silent read for children in second through fifth grade. I would no read this as a read aloud because it is too long, I and feel like children would have a long enough attention span to listen to that long of a book.

“And now, if you please, three round, smooth stones.”

I will be reading this to my students to teach about the soldiers and what the village typically provided to them! This read is interesting and informational!

“Stone Soup” was written by Marcia Brown in 1947. This is a Caldecott book as well. Overall, I enjoyed this book because it was about three hungry soldiers who taught a hungry village how to make stone soup! The illustrations were very nice and the town coming together was also very fun to read about!

Stone soup was cute with the idea of making soup from stones but I didn‘t really understand the moral takeaway. Like is it supposed to be ‘if people lie and won‘t feed you, trick them into it anyways ‘?

“We shall never go hungry now that we know how to make stones from soup”

Stone Soup written by Marcia Brown was published in 1947. It has remained in classrooms for its tale of soldiers who trick the towns people into feeding them by pretending they‘re making soup out of stones, is funny and cute. The illustrations are well done and really help bring the story alive. A good story to read to slightly older children, like third grade.

This was one of my favorite TL stories as a kid! It's about three hungry soldiers and their journey to make "stone soup". When the villagers saw the soldiers coming, they hid all of their food. After coming up empty handed, the soldiers said they were going to make stone soup but they needed some ingredients from the villagers first. This adaption has been awarded the Caldecott honor and can be utilized in the classroom as a RA. #ucflaw3414f17
