When Rudie's sitter gets the flu, he uses her recipe to make her a batch of special chicken soup, including the secret recipe of stories from the heart. ( )

This was a pretty cute book about friendship and helping others. I really like how Rudie adds "stories" into the soup. That can be a cute activity to go along with this book. Children can create recipes for the perfect friendship or the perfect classroom in the beginning of the school year. ( )
