Stone Soup

(4) K-3 By proposing to make a "magical soup" from a single stone, two poor travelers induce the tightfisted inhabitants of a prosperous village to contribute all the ingredients for a delectable stew. The illustrations present a multicultural and an attractive array of characters. However, with its repeated reminders about caring and sharing, this is a rather didactic version of the familiar tale. Recipe included.
