- Abstract
- en_US This is my seventh "Stone Soup" book. The story is set in China. The village is selfish and suspicious as three monks arrive. Their question as they approached the village is: "What makes one happy." The wisest of the three says "Let's find out." When they enter and knock on doors and receive no answer, they comment "These people do not know happiness. But today we will show them how to make stone soup." One of the story's best views -- from inside the pot -- marks a key moment: "As each person opened their heart to give, the next person gave even more." The pictorial art is just right for this approach to the story. The book offers great pictures first of individual characters in the village and then of people looking out curious from their windows. It also offers a great two-page spread of the great feast. "They had not been together for a feast like this for as long as anyone could remember." "Sharing makes us all richer."
