Product Description
By the Kate Greenaway Medalist
Deep in the woods in an old white cabin, three friends make their pumpkin soup the same way every day. The Cat slices up the pumpkin, the Squirrel stirs in the water, and the Duck tips in just enough salt. But one day the Duck wants to stir instead, and then there is a horrible squabble, and he leaves the cabin in a huff. It isn’t long before the Cat and the Squirrel start to worry about him and begin a search for their friend. Rendered in pictures richly evoking autumn, Helen Cooper’s delightful story will resonate for an child who has known the difficulties that come with friendship. Included at the end is a recipe for delicious pumpkin soup.

There is something so warm, satisfying and homey about this book. The three animals live happily together in their warm and cozy house eating their regular supper of pumpkin soup. Each member of this little family has his own role in the soup making process; however, happiness cannot last forever and one morning the duck decides he wants to trade parts! HE wants to be the one stirring the soup… This wish causes chaos in the little house and the duck decides to leave….
I am sure you can guess the ending, but nevertheless this is a rich, beautiful and lovable story which has several surprises along the way.
The paintings are beautiful and colorful (I especially love the pumpkin garden) and my son always ends the reading with his wish “please make me a pumpkin soup”…

Grandmum was a children’s librarian and always finds the great books for my daughter.
This is a sweet little book that has become my daughters favorite(she is 4). She found it funny that a cat, a squirrel and a duck would live together, play music, and make soup.
Each has a part to their events as each plays a certain instrument, and each has a certain part to the making of the soup.
Chaos happens when the duck decides he wants to try something different.
It of course has a happy ending.
The art is very good as my daughter likes looking at it.
A good book for bed time reading!

As a children’s librarian I often read this book aloud to “my kids” and it was a hit every single time. It’s all about cooperation and learning to accept your friends despite all their faults and foibles. I heartily recommend it for one of those chilly fall days–serve soup and crackers as a snack.

I highly recommend this book. The illustrations are outstanding. My three year old loves it. The story is engaging and sweet. It is one of our favorite bedtime books. It is a rare treat to find a book that has great illustrations and a great story to go along with them.

This book is a must for any child. Our daughter is 2 years of age and endless flips throughthe pages pointing out her favorite animals. What makes this book so great is that a child up to 8-10 will love it as well. It’s become a cornerstone ofthe nightly bedtime ritual.
