As always, Cooper presents a blend of glorious colour and an imaginative text with lots of long, interesting words and repetition . . . Highly recommended

Lose yourself in the illustration, laugh out loud at the antics of the friends, learn some important lessons and create a beautifully pink soup, but most of all enjoy this wonderful story book

Superbly detailed, richly coloured illustrations and a dash of humour - are as delicious as ever (there's even a recipe for the delicious beetroot soup Duck missed out on). It's well worth sampling the delights of this picture book and if you've not yet tasted the others - Pumpkin Soup and A Pipkin of Pepper - try them too

Exquisitely detailed and rich illustrations make this a joy to read

A heart-warming children's fable for fussy eaters and their exasperated parents . . . Delicious is an enchanting book full of detailed, colourful illustration and humour

This delightful, funny and, in its way, touching book, again demonstrates Mini Grey's facility for looking at things from a different angle

An absolutely delightful debut

A witty confection of highly colourful characters

A delightful pick for sharp readers enamoured of gothic sensibilities and clever prose

This witty, imaginative entry deserves a prominent space on the MG shelf.
