FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES

Fox Tale Soup

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sally Hobson. This retelling of "Stone Soup" is fairly traditional, save for the farm setting and animal characters. In this version, a crafty fox tricks some farm animals into helping him make a tasty soup, "And all from a stone!" No surprises here--Fox doesn't try to add the animals to the pot, nor do the animals seem afraid of him. As a result, the story is somewhat flat, but the illustrations, featuring rich colors and simple figures, are eye-catching.
