Stone Soup

Sommer-Time Story Classic, Book 11

By: Carl Sommer

Narrated by: Carl Sommer

In a village full of selfish inhabitants, the idea that making stone soup would bring them all together might be hard to swallow...literally! With a few stones as the initial ingredients, three famished soldiers cleverly convince the villagers to contribute all of the items needed for a delicious pot of soup.

In this spirited adaptation of the beloved folktale, preparing a simple pot of soup teaches the villagers that sharing brings happiness and celebration.

After reading this heart-warming tale, children will certainly want to make a pot of their own stone soup. Because it makes a great activity for the classroom, suggest it to a favorite teacher, and remember that individuals can accomplish more when working together.

No Pictures

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The story is very good but there is no pictures to show the children. It would be much better if it the children can see the pictures as it was being read.
