Stone Soup - Book

Stone Soup- Book (softcover) 

by- Marcia Brown

 Clever soldiers outwit greedy townspeople with the creation of a special soup in this cherished classic folktale.

Three soldiers come marching down the road towards a French village. The peasants, seeing them coming, suddenly become very busy, for soldiers are often hungry. All their food is hidden under mattresses or in barns. Then follows a battle of wits, with the soldiers equal to the occasion. Why, of course—even with no food, they can still make a wonderful soup! All they will need is three round stones. But to make a truly perfect stone soup, they will of course also need a carrot or two…a cabbage…and so it goes.
