Iwai, Melissa Soup Day. BOARD BOOK. Henry Holt and Company,
2017. $8. 9781250127723
A young girl and her mom spend the day together creating a
yummy pot of soup. They shop for vegetables, wash and cut them up, and put them
together with broth, noodles, and spices. Mom and daughter play together while
the soup cooks, and then eat the soup with Dad when he arrives home.
I really like this little book; it has a lovely calm and
homey feeling to it. The story is simple and straightforward, but its really
well done. Both of my kids have requested we read it multiple times a day. The
illustrations are fun--with different patterns and colors adding some nice
depth--and there is even a recipe for vegetable soup at the back. Overall, a
nice pick in board books.
Pre-K - ADVISABLE. Reviewer: TC
