The book won the Caldecott Honor Medal.

Tired and hungry soldiers are heading to a small village.  The peasants who live in the village know the soldiers will be hungry and are afraid to share their food for fear they themselves will go hungry.  So they hide their food.  When the soldiers ask for help, they are given good reasons why the villagers cannot share.  The soldiers realize they will have to outwit the villagers.  In the end, the entire village shares in a feast!

Preschoolers will love the repetitiveness and predictability of this remake of an old French tale.  Mothers will appreciate the lesson in hospitality.  And all young folks will enjoy making their own version of stone soup!
