Children's Book Review of Bone Soup by Cambria Evans

Bone Soup by Cambria Evans is a super cute story about a skeleton named Finnigin that is on a quest for a Halloween feast.

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Bone Soup by Cambria Evans

Bone Soup is a story about a skeleton named Finnigin who is determined to share a Halloween feast with others. Unfortunately, gossip spreads about his ravenous hunger, and the townspeople hide their food from Finnigin and refuse to help him when he comes knocking. But when Finnigin brings out his magic bone, the townspeople can’t help but be curious. But will Finnigin share his soup, or will he act like the others and keep it all to himself?

The first thing I just have to point out is this amazing dedication. How clever?!

And I think Iโ€™ve found my new favorite character of the year! ๐Ÿ™‚

The storyline is a great one for kids that really shows the importance of sharing and not jumping to conclusions.

The artwork in this book is so wonderful. I really loved how interesting each of the character sketches were!

Definitely another Halloween/spooky book that I would highly recommend! I loved it!
