Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Three friends, Duck, Squirrel and Cat, join together every evening to make pumpkin soup. Each has their own very important part to play in the process and the soup is always delicious. Then, one day, Duck decides he wants to stir the soup instead of adding the salt. This leads to a tremendous quarrel which ends with Duck leaving in a huff. At first Squirrel and Cat are unconcerned by his absence, but as time goes by they start to worry about what might have happened to their friend.
This is a witty, observant and highly original tale about the ups and downs of friendship by award-winning author-illustrator Helen Cooper. As in The Bear Under the Stairs and The Baby Who Wouldn't Go to Bed, Helen Cooper has created a magical picture book from a familiar childhood occurrence. --Philippa Reece --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

'Cat, Squirrel and Duck are three friends who make pumpkin soup together every day.....,
By
This review is from: Pumpkin Soup (Paperback)
they always do it the same way, until little Duck thinks he's got a better idea.....'
I was captivated by the book corner at a recent primary class I visited, in connection with helping young children cook as part of my course. 'Pumpkin Soup' was the source book and 'the reading corner' was alive with the green and gold tones of Autumn, and pictures/poems about the three lovable characters, with some amazing attention to detail even down to the bag-pipes! It proved an excellent platform for a project and the children couldn't hide their delight in acting out their little pieces - it sure brought a tear to the eye. I particularly noticed the flow of lively replacements for the word, 'said', which the children really emphasised with apparent ease - e.g. 'squeaked', 'snapped', 'stormed', 'scoffed', 'muttered', 'sniffed', 'wept', 'whispered' and 'yelped', and these words followed through into the written work too. 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? Simply delightful book and likely to be a regular choice from the bookshelf!

Warm. cuddly and perfect!,
By "anfez" (Worcester, Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pumpkin Soup (Paperback)
I'm a children's librarian and I treasure this book. And my "story-timers" agree. The illustrations are beautiful--a real visual treat--and the story, how the best of friends can sometimes have disagreements, is so sweetly told even the youngest children are entertained. It's simply a wonderful book and Helen Cooper belongs up there in the Beatrice Potter pantheon.

An absolute must for any three year old,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pumpkin Soup (Hardcover)
What a super book, the pictures are terrific and the story is enough to keep any three year old entertained night after night. My little boy was in hospital when this book was lent to us and we read it over and over again until we went home. I've just ordered him his own copy for Christmas!
