Button Soup

Poor Rag-Tag Meg is hungry. But Grandpa doesn't help, so Meg helps herself. She finds a pot and adds water to it -- and drops in an old button for button soup! A little girl adds parsley and dill. Another little girl adds onions. Mmm -- the soup starts smelling good. Will others bring things to add? Soon even the grown-ups begin to add vegetables to the pot. Meg grins and sings, "Button, button made of wood, now this soup is getting good!"The little girl in the story brings her grandpa and a chicken and everyone shares Meg's delicious button soup. This story is a brand-new twist on a beloved old folk tale, perfect for the beginning reader who still needs help.
