A companion to the best-selling Pumpkin
Soup
Duck, Cat, and Squirrel, the three animal
friends from Pumpkin Soup, are out of salt, a key ingredient
of their special recipe. Duck insists upon coming along with
Cat and Squirrel on the shopping trip to the city. It’s his
first visit, and he’s a little scared, but he forgets everything
when he spots a pepper store. What if they bought a pipkin
of pepper to add to the soup? When he turns around to tell
Cat and Squirrel about his great idea, he realizes they’re
gone! This perfect book about getting lost, with the sage
reminder to stay put if you do, is illustrated with warm,
cleverly detailed paintings.
Helen Cooper is the author and illustrator
of many books, including The Baby Who Wouldn’t Go to Bed.
She lives in Oxford, England.
