Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Three friends, Duck, Squirrel and Cat, join together every evening to make pumpkin soup. Each has their own very important part to play in the process and the soup is always delicious. Then, one day, Duck decides he wants to stir the soup instead of adding the salt. This leads to a tremendous quarrel which ends with Duck leaving in a huff. At first Squirrel and Cat are unconcerned by his absence, but as time goes by they start to worry about what might have happened to their friend.

This is a witty, observant and highly original tale about the ups and downs of friendship by award-winning author-illustrator Helen Cooper. As in The Bear Under the Stairs and The Baby Who Wouldn't Go to Bed, Helen Cooper has created a magical picture book from a familiar childhood occurrence. --Philippa Reece




Rating: - Warm and inviting... an excellent choice for young readers!
Themes for `Pumpkin Soup' revolve around teamwork and sharing. Illustrations are delicious, inviting and cosy - like your eyes are settling into a snug cottage in the late Autumn. The end of the book will excite and enthral youngsters (KS1 and early KS2). The book can be easily differentiated, from asking Low Attainers what animal did what to help make Pumpkin Soup, through to questioning why the Duck went away and what the Squirrel and Cat realised in his absence.

Children could also ... Read More

Rating: - Fantastic!
My daughter in year one (5-6Yrs) used this book for a topic. It was fantastic. Soup has never been so popular. The illustrations are bold and the story is lovely. I liked the way that the friends had their roles and how the argument was resolved. We ended up buying all of these books.

Rating: - perfect book to insprire
My just turned 3 yr old loved this book and couldn't wait to hear it over and over again. After purchasing, "A Pipkin of Pepper" and "Delicious" it's a real deliberation every night which episode to read at bedtime. He would be happy with all three! Brilliant illustrations and a delight to read together. Our family couldn't recommend it enough!!

Rating: - `Cat, Squirrel and Duck are three friends who make pumpkin soup together every day.....
they always do it the same way, until little Duck thinks he's got a better idea.....'

I was captivated by the book corner at a recent primary class I visited, in connection with helping young children cook as part of my course.
`Pumpkin Soup' was the source book and `the corner' was alive with the green and gold shades of Autumn, and pictures/poems about the three lovable characters, with some amazing attention to detail even down to the bag-pipes!
It proved an excellent platform ... Read More

Rating: - A father's perspective
I am determined that I will do what I can to enable my children to enjoy reading as much as I do. These are testing times as kids TV and DVDs are far better than when I was a lad. That makes me sound old. I'm not. I'm 37 and a barrister. Because of my job I don't read too much for fun as I spend so much of my working time reading.

I decided from the outset that I would try to purchase books for my kids that I would like to read. That way I enjoy reading the stories and they pick ... Read More
