Abstract
Each pair of pages presents one full page of text and one of colored illustration. The picture of the cow maid holding her mop at the farmhouse's half-door is too good to miss! This cook/traveler proclaims from the start that his stone has magic qualities. All the characters in this story are animals. The cook/traveler is a dog. He picked up this smooth, oval stone because he had tripped over it on his way into town. "You never know when a stone like this might come in handy." The hungry traveler has already given up on the city, where no one is outdoors talking or playing, when he takes out the stone and has a "brilliant idea." The stone soup dinner turns into a party, with people discovering each other's musical talents. As the traveler moves on, he leaves the magic stone with the townsfolk -- and finds another as he goes on his way. "Cooperation can make difficult things easy, and it can also be lots of fun."
