Stone Soup

Rating:
Summary: No salt, no pepper, no flavor
Review: In this version of stone soup they forgot the salt. It is about a boy who visits an old woman and somehow cons her into feeding him. The original stone soup teaches teamwork and neighborly love.

Summary: Good Taste For Reading
Review: Stone Soup is a classic story brought to life through the pictures by Winslow Pinney Pels. A young man, a pauper, spies a house that looks like plenty of food could be found there. The old woman who owns the house tells him to go away, she has no food in the house, no food in the garden. The young man asks her for a stone. "A stone, what do you want with a stone," she curiously asks the pauper. "Ah," says he, and he knows he HAS her. As the story unfolds, the young man has the woman adding more and more ingredients to the stone soup the young man is making. Completely duped, until possibly the very end, the old woman is the young man's accomplice in tricking herself into providing the pauper with a "feast for a king." And what will become of the stone, read the story, and find out! You'll enjoy it!

Review: Stone Soup is very fun reading. This is a great story because it keeps you interested from start to finish. This story tells of a young man who is off on a long walk and gets hungry. He goes to a little old lady's house and asks to be fed. After she turns him down he offers to make stone soup for them both. So the two boil a stone but soon add onions, carrots, beef bones, barley and many other things to make it taste better. The two then go on to share a very nice afternoon together before the young man heads out for another long walk. I really enjoyed the parts where the little old lady gathers all of the fancy things needed to make the soup. That's why I think that most other people should enjoy this book too.

Summary: Fantastic Book
Review: This could of been the greastest book since Mr. Bump. Its a classic that is a must read for all. Currently I am 17 years old and have read this about 42 times. I must say its still invigorating, to the point that I will explode...

Summary: humorously imaginative
Review: This is the BEST book I have ever read! I still enjoy reading this book even today. I especially love how the pieper gets the old woman to cook him a huge pot of soup, from a stone. Also she has no idea that she is making him a soup. She thinks he really did make soup from that stone. This is by far the greatest book I have ever read! If I had the choice I would rate this book six stars. This is still my favorite book to this date and it will continue to be forever! I would recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Sour taste
Review: This version of Stone Soup leaves a sour taste in my mouth. At the beginning I was especially disappointed that there were no polite words like please and thank you. The boy also tells instead of asking. The other thing I don't like is that the old woman basically lies about not having anything to eat. Both of these issues are bad examples for my child.
