Nail Soup by Eric Maddern by Paul Hess*

A well traveled man stops by a woman's home, asking for a place to stay for the night.  She is rude and short with him but eventually he persuades her to contribute to his nail soup.  The two dine in a way that is fit for a king and queen and depart each other's company being good friends.
Strategies: T-T connections (to other versions of Stone Soup), compare/contrast
Warning: Alcohol is mentioned a few times (red wine, whiskey) but on one abuses it.
*Highly recommend.
My kindergartner liked this one the best out of the four we read tonight.  He liked the illustrations.
