Product Description

Review
" Glows with jeweled intensity."
- "Times Educational Supplement"

Product Description
Every day, Cat, Squirrel and Duck make pumpkin soup - the best you've ever tasted! But one day there's not a single ripe pumpkin to be found. So, they make fish soup, mushroom soup and beetroot soup, but will the new soups be as delicious as their favourite pumpkin soup? Duck doesn't think so -in fact he won't even try them! Poor Duck gets hungrier and hungrier and grumpier and grumpier, until at last Cat comes up with a soup that might just be...delicious!

5.0 out of 5 stars `Delicious - A Pumpkin Soup Story' , 4 Dec 2007
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Delicious! (Paperback)
`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, in connection with helping young children cook, as part of my course.
`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!

5.0 out of 5 stars If this book was soup it would be Scrumptious, Nutritious and Delicious. , 20 Nov 2006
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
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.

Durable board covers open to 32 high quality pages.

It also aims to tackle that other precarious subject - `the try something new' one, where....as the characters, and readers find out....appearances can be deceptive!

Simply delightful book, with an extra surprise almost nonchalant, as `the insects' get their own space, and comments, too - guaranteed to be a regular choice from the bookshelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book
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. Read more

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