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...
