Button Soup

(4) K-3 Bank Street Ready-to-Read series. In Orgel's modern take-off on the "Stone Soup" folktale, a little girl helps a homeless woman cook up a pot of soup in the park for the neighborhood. The modern setting makes some of the story elements seem far-fetched--would kids and adults in the park really start running home to bring out ingredients for the soup?--but the story and illustrations are cheerful.
