Darling illustrations. The story didn't grab me and I suspect that children won't really grasp its meaning.

Straw rushes through things trying to be first until he learns the importance of savoring the moment.
abigailbat's review against another edition
A cute utensil-themed look at wanting to be first all the time, this is the concluding book in the utensil themed trilogy (Spoon and Chopsticks precede it) by the late Amy Krouse Rosenthal. In this book, a plastic straw prides himself on being first always until some friends take him aside and teach him that sometimes it's not about the destination but the journey.

My trilogy is complete :) Another great book for children and adults of all ages. A great lesson in slowing down and appreciating what’s around you.
