Bone Soup

Adorable Halloween story and beautiful illustrations.

I was looking for a Halloween story to read to my daughter's 1st grade class. Bone Soup was perfect! It used Halloween characters but wasn't scary and the illustrations were beautiful. I also liked the fact that both the girls and boys enjoyed it. After reading the story, we made our own "bone soup" in a cauldron. Perfect addition to any child's home library or early education classroom.

The illustrations alone are worth the price!

For older children (and adults, as well) this story has a lesson of the importance of 'sharing', which is quite similar to a great book written long ago called STONE SOUP-- but the weird and wonderful illustrations on each page of BONE SOUP make this soooo much more interesting to the younger set. My four year old grandson asks me 'read' it to him every time he comes to my house. I know it's the pictures that grab and hold his attention but I think he's also getting a little bit of the story's underlying 'message'. Plus I love reading it to him and getting a little creeped out, myself, at the spooky, scary drawings of the verrry weird characters! A definite TWO thumbs up!
