Spiros the village dinosaur feels awful--sneezing and coughing so loud he shakes the lemons off the lemon trees, and the villagers out of their beds. Even so loud that he shakes the onions under the ground! Thank goodness little Popi remembers a song with a recipe for the age-old remedy: Spiros's favorite soup! Step--by--step, she and the village nurse rush to make it, hoping the cure will stop his blasting dinosaur coughs and sneezes before the village's precious onions are launched out of the ground into the air and ruined! Then what would they have to sell at the market to earn a living?
Fans of Patricia Polacco will love this delightful picture book that spins an entertaining story and reveals the recipe for a comforting soup made for generations in Greek cuisine. A treasured addition to bookshelves and a great gift for children, parents, and cooks! Recipe included.
