A young girl gives a step-by-step description of making "Snowy Day Vegetable Soup" (recipe appended) with Mommy, from buying the vegetables to sprinkling the parsley on top. Her low-key narrative creates a cozy atmosphere and includes some vivid descriptive touches; the parsley, for example, "looks like green snow." Bright collage illustrations are eye-catching, with a variety of textures and patterns.
