Stone Soup

Celebrate teamwork, generosity, and sharing with this retelling of the beloved European folktale.

This multicultural version features hungry travelers who go door-to-door asking villagers to share food with them. After being refused again and again, the travelers decide to share their special recipe for a magical soup, using a stone as a starter.

Each person makes a small contribution to the soup, leading to a great meal and the optimistic realization that sharing is the magic ingredient.

This lively book may even lead to a pot of "stone soup" simmering in your classroom or home! Book includes recipe.
