Mean Soup, Paperback/Betsy Everitt

It has been a bad day for Horace. A very bad day. He's come home feeling mean. But his mother knows just what to do"For the book Mean Soup, the recipe is as follows: (1) clever text spiced with one or two outrageous bits; (2) a grand message about getting out anger instead of locking it inside; and (3) exciting artwork as full of life as the story."-- Booklist
