I thought this book looked familiar when I put it on hold at my library, and was SO excited when I opened it and recognized all the pictures from my childhood. Only Sesame Street can make a vegetable soup look so good. A cute picture book that features Cookie Monster , Bert and Ernie and provides a great recipe for soup

Vegetable Soup
Plot: After a wrong delivery of vegetables, Cooke Monster tries to figure out what they are. Then he gets a lesson from Ernie and Bert on how to make vegetable soup.

My Thoughts: A lot of times I wonder how old the Seasame Street gang is, because depending on what book you read it varies how much to how little they know. But then well he *IS* a monster. That’s not to say monsters aren’t smart. But this one all he seems to comprehend is EATING and COOKIES! I do like both. I LOVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES and every since my other mother got me vegetable beef soup I’ve been pretty hooked on that. My mom tends to like to make it the Bert and Ernie way. But what she does is put bones in it. And if I could make a frowned up face emoji after that I would. NOT COOL tho for Cookie to eat it ALL and not share!

I've honestly lost track of how many times I read this book to kids. It's so funny, and it originally came with a tape that you could play that read the story to you. That has been lost, but I still have the book.

A nostalgic story from my childhood! I shared it with a group of late-elementary-ages boys this past week and they loved it ☺️

Even back in the day, you couldn't trust delivery drivers!

I loved this book as a child. Reading it now as an adult just reminds me of how fun and simple Sesame Street used to be.

3.5 stars (3/10 hearts). Cute and fun little story that teaches about the importance of eating vegetables (but still allows cookies😉).
