Book recommendation: A Soup Opera

Buy it: A Soup Opera

A Soup Opera (By Jim Gill) – This book always makes my 5-year-old daughter laugh. The book comes with a CD performance of the story sung as an opera. But my daughter also loves it when we sing the parts ourselves. This is the story of a man who tells the waiter that he cannot eat his soup. The waiter gets the chef who gets a policeman who gets the mayor who gets the president of the United States. Finally the president asks the man why he can’t eat the soup and he explains that he doesn’t have a spoon. This is a fun twist on a children’s picture book.

The book recommendations included on this website are books that my daughter Ally, now age 5, have read and enjoyed together. I recommend the books that stand out to me as excellent children’s books for writing, illustrations, originality, story and characters. Ally and I hope you enjoy them too!
