Stone Soup.ISBN.0-439-33909-x.Retold and Illustrated by Jon J. Muth.2003.Ages5-10
This story teaches the beauty of sharing what we have with others. By three Monks tricking a community into thinking they have the power of making soup out of stones. By suggesting what might make this soup better the towns people begin to add things creating a wonderful meal. It brings the community that once was one where everyone kept what was theirs together. The Illustrations are so amazing I find it hard to find the word to describe them. Except to saythat they pull you into the story.
This book is a great way to teach about community and sharing. A great project would be to make stone soup in the classroom.
