Mouse Soup is a 1977 picture book by noted illustrator Arnold Lobel. Beginning with the simple sentence "A mouse sat under a tree", the book goes on to tell the story of a mouse who has to trick a weasel from turning him into mouse soup. He does that by telling stories about Bees and the Mud, Two Large Stones, The Crickets, and The Thorn Bush, and tells the weasel to put them into his soup. It is soon revealed that the mouse got away and the weasel was seriously injured.[1][2]
