Review Detail

The Most Delicious Soup and other stories contain 5 adventures from the busy city of Villa Verde. Short stories include getting a new pet, wanting to buy everything that’s at the market, camping indoors with friends, spending time with grandparents, and a big soup party at the town square. The illustrative style reminds me of Richard Scarry’s famous Busytown books. The stories were short and nothing too bad happened as the conflict making it ideal for young audiences. One disappointment I have is the stories did feel like they transitioned abruptly and were not substantive leaving them feeling like there should be more to them.
