“Pumpkin Soup” is a children’s book by Helen Cooper and it is about how three best friends (a duck, a cat, and a squirrel) all made pumpkin soup in harmony until the duck wanted to stir the soup and chaos ensures! For anyone who wants to read a hilarious book and want to know how to make Pumpkin Soup, “Pumpkin Soup” is definitely the book for you!

Oh my goodness! Imagine my surprise when I read this book!

Oh my goodness! Imagine my surprise when I read this book! Helen Cooper has done an excellent job at both illustrating and writing this book as each character are truly hilarious and memorable and the plot is full of hilarity and emotion! Helen Cooper has done a great job at describing the characters and the plot of this story! What I really loved about this book were the characters themselves as the cat, the duck and the squirrel are all humorous characters when it comes to who has to make the pumpkin soup. I really loved the duck character as the duck seems like a beautiful version of Donald Duck as he also has a temper and wants to do things his way. I also loved the way that Helen Cooper manages to put in a heartwarming tone in this book especially during the scenes where the cat and the squirrel both go out looking for the duck and those scenes prove the power of friendship that the cat, the squirrel and the duck all share despite their quarreling with each other. My most favorite part of the book was the Pumpkin Soup recipe that Helen Cooper provided at the end of the book, since I took the liberty in copying down the recipe, hoping that someday I will try out this recipe during Halloween! Helen Cooper’s illustrations are extremely beautiful and colorful as she draws the trees and the characters in a realistic manner. The images that truly stood out the most for me were the images of the cat, the squirrel and the duck themselves as the cat is gray and have yellow eyes, the squirrel has orange brownish fur and a bushy tail and the duck is white and cute looking.

All in all, “Pumpkin Soup” is one of the best children’s books I had ever read about friendship and a great book that has a great recipe on how to make Pumpkin Soup that I am sure that many children (and adults) will both enjoy! I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book.
