A big pot, some heat, and lots of popcorn. . . . When the corn starts popping, the fun gets hopping for a boy, a girl, and their grown-up pals, who tend the stove. But when will the popping stop? Betsy Everitt’s energetic illustrations add bold spice to this lighthearted rhyming recipe for a culinary adventure.

Betsy Everitt graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Mean Soup was inspired by her own experiences on one very bad day in 1991.
This entry in a series for very new readers has few words and clear rhymes: ``Popcorn. Popcorn./Put it in a pot./Popcorn. Popcorn./Get the pot hot.'' In a Fauvist kitchen, a multicolored cast of characterspurple and blue dogs, a fuchsia cat, a boy and a girl (he's African-American; she's Latina) put those kernels in a big kettle. ``Popcorn. Popcorn./Pop! Pop! Pop!/Popcorn. Popcorn./Stop! Stop! Stop!'' The fluffy kernels spill out the door into the green and gold world, where other folk come to get their own bags full. ``Popcorn. Popcorn./Get it while it's hot./We are happy./We like it a lot.'' Children who are just beginning to master the connection of word to object will adore this, and marvel that they can, indeed, read it. (Picture book. 5-9) -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
