We discussed their trip and what they saw and did on the trip! I encouraged the children to tell me about their trip so I could learn all about their adventure. Ideas like- Do animals really talk? Do they cook soup? Then I piggy backed on their recent trip to the farm as a way to introduce non-fiction texts and ideas to the children. We discussed that this book is fiction and what makes a fiction story.

We talked about the story and how friends can learn together even though they disagree sometimes. Just as I expected the kindergartners were fascinated by Pumpkin Soup Every group of children that I have shared this book with absolutely love it. I love the book Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper! This is a sweet tale of friends that disagree but in the end they learn that they value each other.
