Ann McGovern grew up in New York City where she currently lives today. She has visited EVERY continent and started writing when she was 8 years old. She has been writing children's books for over 35 years and has written over 50 books! In 1970 she married her husband and has four children. In 1992 her husband passed away but she learned to do so many exciting things with him and continues the vacations with her family that they started with their children!
Synopsis:
This story is about a hungry man who makes soup from a stone. He starts out by asking an old lady for food but she tells him she has nothing for him. He finds a stone and she asks him how he can make soup from a stone. He tells her once the soup starts boiling what ingredients would make the soup taste good and she quickly gets the ingredients from the garden or makes them herself. Finally the soup is ready to eat and they enjoy themselves. The hungry man takes the stone with him to cook with it again.

Activity:
After reading the story, have the class make their own stone soup!Reflection:
I think this is a cute book to use in a classroom because it allows students to predict what might happen as well as repeat what is in the soup because eat ingredient is said after a new ingredient is added. This is a fun book for young ages because each group can make their own stone soup with their own ingredients. I remember making stone soup when I was in elementary school!
