Hmm Captain Kangaroo ( )

This rendition of Stone Soup offers up the story in a new way. The story is the same as the original tale, three travelers invented a soup to receive help from greedy towns people, but in this edition the calssic characters are replaced with animals are more updated illustrations. I like that this book uses more current illustration while keeping the story the same. The story offers a great message, treat other as you'd like to be treated or always help those in need, and I think that in this case it's important to not stray from it.

Genre: I would say this is a modern fantasy book because it could not happen in real life. Pigs, dogs, bears, and chickens are not a part of a village that all run businesses nor can they actually combine vegetables and meat and stones to make soup. Also, stones would not be edible in real life.

The media that is used in this book looks like watercolor and perhaps some ink for outlining. The illustrations are humorous and not too realistic in the detailed sense. They give the general idea of what the animals look like but they wouldn't be good references for a project. The pictures do, however, go along with the story very well. ( )
