Stone Soup by Marcia Brown
A Caldecott Honor Book with remastered artwork for its 75th anniversary Clever soldiers outwit greedy townspeople with the creation of a special soup in this cherished classic. Three soldiers come marching down the road towards a French village. The peasants, seeing them coming, suddenly become very busy, for soldiers are often hungry. All their food is hidden under mattresses or in barns. Then follows a battle of wits, with the soldiers equal to the occasion. Why, of course--even with no food, they can still make a wonderful soup All they will need is three round stones. But to make a truly perfect stone soup, they will of course also need a carrot or two...a cabbage...and so it goes. First published in 1947, Marcia Brown's retelling of a French folktale is a picture book classic. Her lively art creates a festival of activity, of dancing and laughter, that young readers will want to experience again and again.Marcia Brown (1918-2015), a three-time Caldecott Medalist and six-time Caldecott Honor illustrator, as well as the winner of the Children's Literature Legacy Award (previously known as the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award) for her body of work, was one of the most celebrated illustrators in children's literature.
