Halloween: Bone Soup

By JULIETTE ROSSANT For children who like ghoulish stories for Halloween, it is hard to beat Cambria Evans' Bone Soup (Houghton Mifflin 2008). Foodie kids won't be tempted to make the soup that includes eyeballs, bats wings, spider eggs, and frogs legs (which you might want to introduce in some other dish). But they will have fun looking at the pictures of green ghouls, witches, and mummies. This is the classic stone soup tale, with the hero being a creature named Finnigin who carries a eating stool, and eating spoon and has an eating mouth – famous for having a ravenous appetite. He sings: BONE SOUP IS WHAT I MAKE A MAGIC BONE IS ALL IT TAKES BOIL IT LONG AND ADD SOME SPICE BONE SOUP TASTES SO VERY NICE! Just think of your little chef making up poetry while mixing potions in your kitchen.
