Spoon by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

3.0

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.
