GOLDSWORTHY AND MORT IN SPRING SOUP Marcia Vaughan Illustrated by Linda Hendry Toronto, HarperCollins, 1991. 64pp, paper, $5.95 ISBN 0-00-617948-7. A Ready*Set*Read Book. CIP Grades 2 and up/Ages 7 and up Reviewed by Anna Santarossa. Volume 19 Number 5 1991 October Goldsworthy and Mort in Spring Soup is a book that has two delightful short stories in it. The first one is about how the two friends make a great new soup when each of them helps the other. One thought that they were making creamy clam chowder and the other one thought that they were making baked bean hot pot soup, so together they make creamy clam chowder baked bean hot pot soup, and it is delicious! In the second story, each of the friends spring cleans. They give their old clutter to each other; consequently, each happily ends up with new clutter. Goldsworthy and Mort are two lovable characters reminiscent of Arnold Label's Frog and Toad. The text is easy to read and the illustrations are colour­ful and heart-warming. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it as both a wonder­ful early reader and a great read-a-loud. Anna Santarossa, Bolton, Ont.
