Publisher Description
Three soldiers came marching down the road towards a French village. The peasants, seeing them coming, suddenly became very busy, for soldiers are often hungry. So all the food was hidden under mattresses or in barns. There followed a battle of wits, with the soldiers equal to the occasion. Stone soup? Why, of course, they could make a wonderful soup of stones...but, of course, one must add a carrot or two...some meat...so it went.
Marcia Brown has made of this old tale a carnival of activity, dancing, and laughter. Children who have once heard the story will turn to this book again and again, retelling the story for themselves. Now in an eBook edition!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This old French tale about soldiers who trick miserly villages into making them a feast won a Caldecott Medal when Brown retold and illustrated it in 1947. (4-7)

Love it 😋😃
I love this book I remember in 2nd grade my teacher read this book and we did a play good times😂😂

For the price, I thought this would have the audio when there are other cheaper versions that are essentially the same thing. Disappointed.
Old Favorite
I've always loved this story! I remember one year, when everyone in class brought an ingredient to make the soup and we ate it for lunch that day! Maybe I'll try to recreate it...
