Grandma is teaching Layla how to make soup. They go to the market to buy fresh ingredients--vegetables, spices, meat, and bread to eat with their meal--and as they shop, Layla makes new friends along the way. Back home, Grandma's soup bubbles and boils and fills the house with a delicious aroma. But when they sit down to eat, Layla discovers something is missing. What one ingredient makes any meal extra special? Features include audio, author/illustrator biography, and full-color illustrations. Downloadable Teacher notes available.
