Three monks come into the village and see that noone in that town is real nice. So they decide to make stone soup. Little by little the villagers started to help make the stone soup and start to come together.

I really like this book because it teaches people to come together. I love the watercolors and the pictures.

I would get all the kids bring some kind of food for the soup and we would read the story and make the soup together.

Villages come together to make soup. The do more than just make soup- they learn about each other and learn to trust others. ( )

Three monks arrive at a town that is full of unhappy people. The monks decide to find a way to bring the town together by making a big pot of stone soup. Everyone in the town decides to come together to their own ingredient in. Then when the soup is ready they all sit down and share it like a happy family.

I felt this book was a wonderful story about people coming together as a communtiy to share. Sharing and contributing to your friends and community is a good lesson that is expressed in this book. The town became happy when they came together as a community.

I would have students bring in thier own ingredient for stone soup. Then we could have a classroom talent show so the students could share their own gifts.

Three monks go to a village where the people are scared of newcomers. They all hide when the monks arrive. To attract the villagers, the monks start to make stone soup. The villagers begin to bring things to add to the stone soup.

This was a good book about sharing. It was an interesting and fun book to read.

This book could be used for a lesson about sharing. Children can learn that sharing not only benefits themselves but it benefits others too.

The Summary of this story is, The monks appoarch a town that trusts no one. The monks decide to go to the village and make stone soup and little by little the villagers started helping, by the end of the day every one was happy again because they all came together again.

I really like this book because it shows how if all share and just be happy we will get even more out of everything then if we werent happy at all.

in the classroom i would use this book to show children how to share and maybe even make stone soup and ask students what they would like to put in it.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 043933909X, Hardcover)

Three strangers, hungry and tired, pass through a war-torn village. Embittered and suspicious from the war, the people hide their food and close their windows tight. That is, until the clever strangers suggest making a soup from stones. Intrigued by the idea, everyone brings what they have until-- together, they have made a feast fit for a king! In this inspiring story about the strength people possess when they work together, Muth takes a simple, beloved tale and adds his own fresh twist.
