Stone Soup Forever

This is a timeless story that I have told to firstly my children, and now my grandchildren. We cook 'stone soup' on many occasions,and even finicky eaters cannot resist the soup after they know the story. My eldest grandson (13) has his favourite stone that has served as the basis for the soup in recent times. He takes great delight in serving stone soup to his friends and showing them his 'stone'. The story I heard as a child was of a French soldier returning home after a Napolionic War where the village he entered was devestated by war etc. The underlying context of shared co-operation is wonderful example of how we can all get along together if we all put in something....

Great classic story!

We had the privilege of seeing this story live at the Broward Center for Performing Arts, and my four year old loved it! I had to buy him the book and now we read it at home and he still loves it! It's a great classic story, and teaches about sharing, friendship and caring for others.

It's hard to read aloud to a group and show the pictures because of its smaller size.

First published in 1947, this picture book classic has remained one of Marcia Brown's most popular and enduring books. This story, about three hungry soldiers who outwit the greedy inhabitants of a village into providing them with a feast, is based on an old French tale.
