ReviewsPair this with variations on stone soup for a soup-themed storytime, or check it out for the weekend yourself and try out Ruthie's borscht recipe included on the back cover. -- BCCB "Schubert turns the story of a sick relative, not a particularly cheery topic, into a sweet and salty tale, warmed by Christensen's lively sketches, about bickering Jewish neighbors and intergenerational caregiving." -- New York Times "…the tale of competing cooks and grandmother/grandchild love is universal." -- School Library Journal "Christensen's illustrations, with their sketchlike dark lines and subdued hues enhanced by pinky-red beet-colored accents, reflect the comfortable disarray of Ruthie's family life." -- Horn Book Magazine "Schubert hits just the right notes of sweet, sour, and salty in portraying a milieu in which operatic emotions, bickering, and sharp remarks are really a form of unconditional affection." -- Publishers Weekly "Appetizing and heartwarming." -- Kirkus Reviews,

SynopsisRuthie's grandma is in the hospital, not surprisingly complaining about the food. All she wants is a nice bowl of borscht. Ruthie comes to the rescue, even though she hasn't the faintest idea of how to make it.
