I love these comparisons -- so interesting! The version I had when I was a child myself, by Ann Mcgovern, will always hold a special place in my heart -- the illustrations were so vivid to me, I've carried them with me into my adulthood -- but I think my favorite version, now, is Quill Soup by Alan Durant. It's a riot of color, and a pleasure to read and absorb.
Thank you for the comment and the recommendations! I'll have to check them both out. I didn't grow up with the Stone Soup story myself so it was astonishing to discover just widely the story has traveled and how each author and illustrator put their own mark on it.
Thanks so much for subscribing; I love your newsletter and look forward to each issue!

Aw, thank you! That *anyone* looks forward to receiving my newsletter (still) means so much to me.
