Description
“Dad says we’re going to grow vegetable soup.” So begins Lois Ehlert’s bright, bold picture book about vegetable gardening for the very young. The vital tools are pictured and labeled, as are the seeds (green bean, pea, corn, zucchini squash, and carrot). Then the actual gardening happens . . . planting, weeding, harvesting, washing, chopping, and cooking! After all? “It used to be the most efficient soup ever.” Ehlert’s easy, colorful cut-paper-taste illustrations are child-friendly, as is the massive black kind. A recipe for vegetable soup tops it all off!
