<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Eric Kimmel takes the traditional tale "Stone Soup" south of the border in this whimsical picture book. Brilliant watercolors and a text interspersed with Spanish words make this retelling a treat to read and hear. "A savory stew."--"Booklist," starred review.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Spanish edition of our Mexican-flavored Stone Soup story, <em>Cactus Soup</em>.<br /><br />When a group of hungry soldiers ride into San Miguel, the townspeople don't want to share their food. They hide their tortillas, tamales, beans, and flour and put on torn clothes to look poor. But the Capitán is not fooled. He asks for a cactus thorn to make some cactus soup, and before long he has tricked the townspeople into giving him salt and chilies, vegetables, and a chicken as well! Whimsical watercolors by Phil Huling add to the humor in this southwestern twist on the classic Stone Soup tale.
