In the picture book “Gilbert and Tootie Make Soup,” Gilbert the elephant and Tootie the squirrel cook together in their treehouse kitchen. When hungry woodland creatures knock at their door, Gilbert worries their pot is too small. Clever Tootie keeps adding water and ingredients, chanting “More carrots, more peas, more tomatoes, please!” Soon the soup bubbles over! They invite more and more neighbors until—just right!—everyone shares the meal together. The final illustration shows animals of all sizes slurping happily, with colorful vegetable bits stuck to whiskers and trunks. Available in hardcover.
