SEARCH BY TITLE Title TN Message Rating F/N Vegetable Soup Morris, Ann 2 2 N Scholastic Inc., 1994 This short picture book uses simple text and large illustrations to tell children how to make vegetable soup. While it’s not a recipe, per se, it could be used as an introduction to a recipe for vegetable soup, especially one that might be more complex than the children could read. This book could also serve as a model for children making their own books about cooking a favorite food. Vegetables in the Garden de Bourgoing, Pascale and Gallimard Jeunesse 2 1 N Scholastic Inc., 1994 One of several titles in the First Discovery Books series, this spiral bound book presents clearly written information about vegetables as they are grown in a garden. Colorful illustrations show carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, peas and other vegetables, the parts above and below the ground, and the parts inside the skin or pods. Plastic overlay pages help children visualize what is inside. Veggie Soup Donohue, Dorothy 2 2 F Winslow Press, 2000 Miss Bun, a rabbit, wants to make veggie soup. When her animal friends contribute their favorite ingredients such as worms, bugs, and hay, the soup is a disaster. They decide to make another veggie soup following Great Nana’s recipe with “soup-perb” results. The cleverly written text and creative cut-paper illustrations combine to make this an amusing and informative picture book. The recipe for “Great Nana’s Veggie Soup” is included at the end of the book. Venus & Serena Williams Donaldson, Madeline 5 2 N Lerner Publications, 2003 This brief biography of Venus and Serena Williams opens with a description of the 2001 women’s U.S. Open Final. This game was significant because it was the first time the two sisters faced each other AND it was the first time two African Americans played for the title. The book recounts their experiences growing up in a family dedicated to their education and tennis success. The book is illustrated with color photographs and concludes with timelines of their career highlights, a glossary, a listing of other books and websites, and an index.

The next day he eats a green leaf and feels much better. Eventually, he is transformed into a butterfly.
