Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
Big brother is serving up some fantastic lentil soup but little brother hesitates to eat it because it's too hot. In the meantime while it's cooling down the little fellow fires tons of questions at his older sibling trying to have every ingredient included in the soup defined for him. Luckily big brother with patience and humour answers the barrage of queries presented.
The reader learns through jokes, riddles and puns all about lentils, tomatoes, salt, pepper and every other component that makes up the tasty soup. The author has included a child-friendly recipe at the end of the book so those sharing the story will be able to whip up a pot and try it themselves. What a great fun idea!
The illustrations are engaging and kid-friendly. Not only is the book informative but it is a call to action for kids to step into their own kitchen and become connoisseurs. The book encourages kids to consider where their food comes from and it promotes imaginative thinking which I think is a "souper" idea!
