Growing vegetable soup


Written and illustrated by Lois Ehlert
1987  Harcourt Books  

Literally starting from the ground up to make vegetable soup, a father and his children plant seeds, watch them grow and eventually harvest the vegetables to concoct a delicious soup. Illustrations seem to be created in a collage format that is bright and vivid. The font of the story is easy on the eyes and simple to read. A bonus to this book are the terms attached to the tools, seeds, seedlings, plants and vegetables to give children the vocabulary associated with growing vegetables from the beginning of development to finished soup.
