Stone Soup (Aladdin Picture Books)

by Marcia Brown, Marcia Brown

Three hungry soldiers come to a village where nobody wants to share their food. So the soldiers say they will make soup from stones, and slowly the curious villagers bring carrots, cabbage and more until there is a real feast. This is Marcia Brown's retelling of an old French folktale, first published in 1947, and it is a lovely, funny way to talk with children about sharing.
