The neighborhood is having a block party where everyone is responsible for bringing a food dish. Padma is excited about the party until she learns that her mother is planning to bring lentil soup. Padma thinks soup is so boring! Everyone else will bring fun things like pizza or hot dogs. Plus Padma worries that her friends won’t like the soup—but to her delight, she discovers that they not only like the soup, they want to learn how to make it.

School Library Journal - Padma is embarrassed about bringing an Indian dish to share with friends
at a neighborhood block party. She wishes her family’s contribution
could be pizza. When her mother asks her to take the pot of lentil soup
outside, Padma places it on the beverage table, carefully hiding it
behind the drinks. But when the pot is discovered and the other children
enjoy the delicious soup, Padma is proud to have helped her mother
prepare the meal. With three very short chapters, controlled vocabulary,
and lots of cheerful illustrations, this title conforms to the familiar
structure of many beginning readers. The included soup recipe is a
charming extra feature. This beginning reader distinguishes itself with
its strong representation of children from a variety of cultures,
addressing the need for greater diversity in this format. VERDICT A
strong addition for all libraries serving new and emerging readers.
