Stone Soup Paperback – Illustrated, September 1, 1986

I am so thrilled to have found Stone Soup again! This book brought back so many fond memories from my childhood, and now I get to share it with my little one. My kid loves the story just as much as I do, and it’s been such a joy to read it together.The story is timeless, with a great message about community and sharing. The illustrations are charming and really capture the magic of the tale. I’m so glad to have this classic in our collection, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to share a wonderful story with their family!

This story was for a friend who wanted books to read to her baby and this one will work long until they are of school age! Wonderful meaning to share with children !

There should be more books like this and less new school Montessori garbage (i.e. overanalyzing feelings) out there.

Stone soup is a very cute and clever book. It teaches innovation when one has little to work with. Moreso, we both just thought it was a warm and cute book. Loved the team work to make the soup and it even gave me an idea to make “stone soup” with my little one in the kitchen with all the ingredients in the book. (We ended up making beef stew) 🤣😭My son gobbled up the stew completely!Most importantly this book gave us an opportunity to share and make memories.

Great getting to reread this book from my childhood. I mostly bought it for my husband because when I told him we made “stone soup” in kindergarten he had no clue what I was talking about and thought I made it up. Lol. So happy I could prove him wrong.

This was another favorite book of my children. There are several different versions of this story, I am not sure if this was the same as my original one. Some versions are more wordy than others. I don't know about this one because I didn't actually see it before it was gifted.

Excellent value and beautifully illustrated would buy it again.

My father-in-law sent home a stew for me. It smelled delicious, but turned out to be a bucket of rocks with a little stew spread across the top. I pretended it was delicious not letting on that he had pranked me. In response I remembered this wonderful book existed and sent him an anonymous copy. My phone was ringing minutes after I got a message that the package had arrived by UPS!Showed up exactly as expected, on time. Wonderful experience from both a product sense and a memory created.
