This is a very sweet book about a girl and her mother who make soup together. The buy the ingredients, count and measure them, cook the soup and play together while the soup is cooking. This could be incorporated with a math lesson because of the counting and measurements.

by playing games and reading to one another. Finally, the vegetable soup is done and the young girl's father arrives home just in time for dinner. This book shows how one snow-day in can turn into a fun, bonding experience between a girl and her mom. "Soup Day" is a day she looks forward to and one she'll probably remember for the rest of her life. Children will want to help their parents in the kitchen after reading this and there's even a 'Snowy Day Vegetable Soup' recipe on the last page so kids can try it themselves.
