BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
Each autumn Mr. Lepron and his rabbit family gather vegetables from the farmer’s fields and he makes one giant pot of delicious soup that is famous all over the world. One day he decides to ramp up production and sell his soup all over the world. But as the factory expands and the worries begin, his soup loses that special sparkle that made it so delicious. Mr. Lepron has a difficult decision to make.
Zoboli seems to have a book about the dangers of over-commercialism and the joy of small batch production. The story is a little heavy-handed. Plus it is a very long read - very text heavy - it felt like it took up a longer time to read than I wanted to spend on it.
