Gather round for soup fit for the king in this vibrant twist on a
classic fable.
With brightly colored art and engaging characters, this retelling of the
well-known Stone Soup story will captivate young readers. Noko the
traveling porcupine arrives in a village. He's denied food and a place
to sleep by all the animals he meets. Finally he's granted a fire and a
large pot of water. He adds a few of his quills to make his famous quill
soup, which he says the king loves! Slowly but surely, everyone
contributes ingredients--carrots, beans, and more. Will the soup feed
them all?
