Cucumber Soup

32 pp. | Fulcrum | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-55591-380-6 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Craig McFarland Brown. In this counting book, groups of insects pitch in to help move a cucumber--and later celebrate by eating some cucumber soup (recipe appended). Paragraphs of information about each insect are longer than--and distract from--the actual story. Illustrations that vary the bug's-eye perspective add drama. Also available in Spanish.
