This is one of my favourite books to read with my son. The pictures are beautiful, and the story has a good (yet not patronising) moral of trying something new to eat. It also has a couple of good 'shout out loud' bits that children remember such as 'i'm not eating that it's pink'.

This is a lovely story that might just encourage a child to try a new thing, though children are exceptionally stubborn like Duck. The illustrations in this book are appealing, vivid, warm and autumnal in tone, and all with a special quirky touch. Cat, Squirrel and Duck are out of pumpkin for their perennial favourite, Pumpkin Soup, so they have to try something different. Cat and Squirrel are happy enough to give fish soup, mushroom soup and beetroot soup a try but Duck is NOT. Finally, with hunger at his heels and with the use of some correct colour changing ingredients, stubborn Duck does try a newsoup and it is Delicious. This book is a lovely stand-alone picture book for any child from age 2-3 up. It is also a grand finale in the Pumpkin Soup trilogy, each of which is nicely different, and I confess we have been waiting for this book since we got a copy of a Pipkin of Pepper this time last year and discovered there was one more to come. In this book the little insects, who have kind of guest appearances in the earlier books, develop their own amusing sub-plot and we love the cross-section picture of the little white cabin and the `extra' final page dedicated to the bugs. Fantastic.

'Inside this book you will find a recipe for trouble
and it is there on the inside cover!
A rather special recipe for the three friends, 'Cat, Squirrel and Duck , who usually make pumpkin soup together every day...........until, one day, there is a problem...'
I was captivated by the book corner at a recent primary class I visited, recently. Delicious! and Pumpkin Soup were the source books and 'the corner' was alive with the shades of Autumn, with pictures and poems about the three characters.
I was particularly impressed with the amazing attention to detail, drawn from these marvellous books which proved an excellent platform for a project.
The children couldn't hide their delight in acting out their little pieces.
From this book, 'Delicious', I particularly noticed the flow of lively adjectives, which the children really emphasised with apparent ease - e.g. 'nutritious' 'scrumptious', not forgetting 'delicious'..... and these words followed through into the written work too - with some interesting attempts at their spelling!
The 32 high quality page book is a beautifully illustrated, well written tale with a distinct message - sharing and compromise - and don't we all know how difficult that can be at certain ages?
It also aims to tackle that other precarious subject - 'the try something new' one, where, as the readers find out, appearances can be deceptive!
Simply delightful book, with an extra surprise, as 'the insects' get their own space, and witty comments, too!
Guaranteed to be a regular choice from the bookshelf!
Look out for A Pipkin of Pepper, too!

A very lovely story of three friends who eat their soup! From the same series as Pumpkin Soup, my all time favorite book.
