Pig and friends are donning their gourmet chef hats to help mouse make soup. After all, what are friends for?
Mouse presents an onion. Cow is happy to share two cabbages. Pig brings.... ummmm.... three umbrellas. Umbrellas? Yep. Umbrellas. Is that wise pig?
On the surface it would appear that cow is cooking to the beat of a different kind of soup recipe. But, you know that something tasty is just a turn of the page or two away.
This is a delightful counting book, an early-ish reader for the reluctant learner and a genuinely funny story with a twist.
Pacing is perfection and the expressions on the faces of the animal friends add up to... you knew it was coming... the perfect recipe for fun.

From the publisher:
"Mouse is making a yummy pot of soup and Cow and Pig are helping add ingredients. Mouse adds four tomatoes, Cow adds five potatoes, and Pig adds…six galoshes?! Is that wise, Pig? Young readers will be so busy giggling at Pig’s antics, they won’t even realize they are counting, too. A twist ending and irresistible characters will make this a favorite read-aloud."
