Review:
What would soup taste like
if it were only made with a single bone and some water? Perhaps very bland. Three
little witches are hungry, and a bone is all they have. So, they carry their
caldron and bone down the road to ask neighbors for items to add to their soup.
They ask for water from a hairy blue monster, they get eye of a giant from a
ghost, and a lizard’s tail from a ghoul. Each time the three witches knocked on
a door they were frightened of who might answer. Each neighbor followed along
as they accumulated items to add to their bone soup. The pot was getting more
and more savory with old toenails, wrinkled fingers and dead prunes. The
neighbors were growing hungrier and hungrier and were threatening the three witches
that their soup better not be a trick. The monsters began to chant and roar for
their soup. Do you think the bone soup would be a tasty savory treat? Do you
think there was enough soup to go around?
Whether you are looking for
a tasty new recipe or want to get to know your neighbors this fun story builds
up the suspense and is perfect for beginner readers. Snappy rhyme along with
hilariously creepy characters makes this a read for anytime. Parents, teachers
and caregivers will have fun reading this aloud using their scariest monster
voices. This old folktale speaks to making something out of nothing and how
small gifts can make all of the difference. The back pages have a recipe for
kids, with the help of parents, to make their very own version of bone soup.
