Let's enjoy Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper!! (click on the title for an amazon review of the book!)
We'll meet a trio of friends that are very good at sharing. Cat, Squirrel, and Duck live together, play music together, and make their daily pumpkin soup together. They each have a special job to do and life is peaceful and happy for them. One day Duck decides he wants to try a different job and the three friends quarrel. Duck runs away in a huff and Cat and Squirrel are left to feel lonely and lost without their friend. We'll see if their friendship can help them come together once more.
