This book is an old folktale about three soldiers who come into a town looking for food and shelter for the night. All of the townspeople are greedy and hide their food from the soldiers. The three soldiers have to find a way to find food in the town and they come up with the perfect plan: stone soup.
I thought this book was a little weird to be honest. It was funny because of how the soldiers tricked the townspeople but the ending was very anticlimactic.
I would give this book a 3 out of 5. It is not a bad book, but I probably would not read it again or recommend it for any classrooms.
