Here's a lovely book about the joys and trials of friendship, and a great idea for a Halloween activity all wrapped into one. A cat, duck, and squirrel live together in a cabin in the woods, and spend their days making the best pumpkin soup you ever tasted. It's an idyllic little world until the trouble-making duck decides that he wants a turn stirring the soup. Serious squabbling ensues, and the resolution is sure to fascinate preschoolers who deal with their own playground spats on a regular basis. And the gorgeous illustrations are near guaranteed to inspire parents and children to chop up some pumpkins, stir them into boiling water, and add a pinch of salt. Mmmmm!
