Product Description
On a dark winter's night, a ragged beggar dreams of a warm hearth and a delicious meal -- and sets out to find just that. In this retelling of the classic folk tale Stone Soup, a stranger teaches the poor villagers what can be accomplished with a few buttons and a little cooperation.

Every so often, a book comes along that reminds you why you learned to read: "Bone Button Borscht," an unusual version of "Stone Soup," is one of those. Aubrey Davis's sharp characterizations and colorful language dance the plot along; her gentle wit teaches without becoming preachy or saccharine. Kudos also to the artist, Dusan Petricic, for his simple, powerful drawings - these are pictures you can look at and think about for a lifetime. His images are poignant and uncluttered - each line and color helps tell the story. "Bone Button Borscht" not only offers a reading experience you and your child will return to again and again, but also a wealth of "teachable moments" in personal values, quality literature, and meaningful artistic expression. Be wise - buy one for yourself, one for your child, and one for the stranger who may someday come knocking at *your* door, willing to trade a miracle for a single bone button.

This is a thoroughly delightful tale of how important it is for people to work together and help neighbors and become a community. We just loved reading this to our kids. The book's subtle yet powerful message is told with great humor and sensitivity. We just adore this!
