Ben Galbraith.
Set in the Wild West, this version of "Stone Soup" features a grandfather and a grandson who get the whole town singing, "Chili's good, so is barbecue, / but nothing's finer than fandango stew!" It's a solid reinterpretation of the classic, thanks to the full-on Old West dialogue and the mixed-media art, which amplifies each character's delicious gullibility.
