Love this. It has some great puns. My kids loved it too!

Another find your inner swan book. Not bad, but boring. And you know - girl spoons and boy spoons. Though it does end with spooning so I suppose it could be worse. Not something I'd want to read over and over again.

Spoon is in a funk. What good is he if he cannot slice and spread like knife, poke and pick like fork, or be as exotic and cool like chopsticks?
Like Anna Kang's "Eraser", Amy Krouse Rosenthal's "Spoon" reminds the reader(s) that while we would like to have the strengths and skills of others, we too have an important or fun role in the greater world around us!
My mom and I 'awwed' a lot over the cute little Spoon, and how through the support and words/actions of those who love him finds his own value, and overcomes his funk. His little figure, complete with hand drawn arms, is as sweet as the ice cream he dives head first into with each desired bite.
If you are looking to do a book display on being proud of who you are, and what you CAN do, this book would make a good addition.

Clever, but I definitely prefer Chopsticks. The illustrations are fantastic, and the last page (spooning!) had me chuckling, although Z was oblivious.

Super cute picture book that so many students will relate to! Spoon feels like everybody has a more exciting life than he does. Little does he know that the cutlery he envies are jealous of what they see him doing. With the help of his mother, he begins to appreciate all of the things he can do and not focus on what he cannot. Recommended for grades K-2.

A story about not feeling happy where you are. The pictures are cute.
