The mouse has a favorite recipe. When a mouse is feeling blue, there is only one thing that can help perk him up -- a big bowl of elephant soup. He doesn't need much to make the soup -- vegetables, salt and pepper, and an enormous pot -- big enough to fit an elephant. The mouse can't make the soup by himself. After all, he needs to capture an elephant. With the help of his friends, he manages to get an elephant in the pot. What happens next is not what the mouse and his friends expected. Here is the latest picture book from the imaginations of Ingrid and Dieter Schubert. With lively illustrations and a text that conveys an absurd sense of humor, this picture book is the perfect recipe for laughter.
