Illustrated by
Thomas F. Yezerski.
Pinch, who looks as if he hasn't missed many meals, wants soup, but he's too lazy to make it. His svelte next-door neighbor Dash is making "skinny soup…soup with not much in it." Friendship and collaboration are seasoned with a touch of spicy humor in this early-reader buddy book. The sprightly pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations match the text's companionable tone.
