By the Kate Greenaway Medalist Deep in the woods in an old white cabin, three friends make their pumpkin soup the same way every day. The Cat slices up the pumpkin, the Squirrel stirs in the water, and the Duck tips in just enough salt. But one day the Duck wants to stir instead, and then there is a horrible squabble, and he leaves the cabin in a huff. It isn't long before the Cat and the Squirrel start to worry about him and begin a search for their friend. Rendered in pictures richly evoking autumn, Helen Cooper's delightful story will resonate for an child who has known the difficulties that come with friendship. Included at the end is a recipe for delicious pumpkin soup.
The Cat and the Squirrel come to blows with the Duck in arguing about who will perform what duty in preparing their pumpkin soup, and they almost lose the Duck's friendship when he decides to leave them.

I want to own this book. As far as Fall books go, this is one of the best. The story is good, don't misunderstand. What is really outstanding is the artwork here. You know that warm glow when it's dark and the candle inside the pumpkin is that warm orange color and you can stay up late into the night just to soak up that warm cozy safe color. This is a book using that warm glow with 3 characters. There is Duck, Squirrel and Cat. Yes, an unusual bunch, but there is peace in their house.
They live quite a happy life. There is good food - pumpkin soup, there is good music each night and they are fast friends. Peace and harmony. It feels so good reading the pages. They live in a big cozy white gourd. Everything is cozy, but the same.
When Duck needs to do something differently, the peace is broken and Duck leaves home. The others go looking for him and their worries are drawn. The warm light is not there until they picture duck in his soup stand being famous. It is the cutest thing made out of a pumpkins. So clever. They resolve their squabble and Duck comes home. Harmony does return but a little messier.
The kids loved this book too. They gave it 5 stars. In my mind, this book is irresistible. It is a classic in my home now and a book that should be read yearly. Now, I need to check out more of Helen Cooper's work.
