Chopsticks by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

5.0

I loved this book! The Chopsticks do everything together - and you have to really look at the pictures to see how elaborately they work together - holding a side plank while picking up a sushi roll, holding hands to twirl around in a cup of tea, karate chop an asparagus.... but then the unthinkable happens and one of the Chopsticks breaks!!! He gets "whisked" (you have to see the picture....) off to the hospital where his "break" is set. But then he is told to rest. The other Chopstick doesn't leave his side until he is told "Go, my friend. And then come back and tell me all about it." So the other Chopstick does and finds all kinds of things he can do on his own. My personal favorite? Joining a game of Pick Up Sticks!!
Kids will really enjoy the humor of this book. This book would also be good for inferring - most of the pictures don't tell you exactly what the Chopstick(s) is/are doing and kids have to put two and two together (no pun intended).
Have fun reading this one - both child and parent will be laughing out loud!
