Spoon is envious of all his friends. He doesn't get to do the same things as knife or fork or chopsticks. What he doesn't realize is that they are envious of him as well. He realizes all the good things he gets to do that they can't. Fun little story!
I've said it in other reviews, but I really like Rosenthal's books! In this book, Spoon is envious of other utensils for the things that they can do but he can't. However, we also find that they are envious of what Spoon can do. My 4-6 year old story group loved the story of spoon. It opens a good discussion about how we feel about others, jealousy, acceptance, and gratitude.
One of the many books I've purchased Syd over the last couple of years and it's one of my favorites.
I like animated silverware, from "the dish ran away with the spoon" to the ones in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast." So this book about Spoon, who has to do some thinking to realize how lucky he is to be him, really tickled me. I especially enjoyed the prancing chopsticks.
Cute story about being yourself and appreciating your own attributes. Fun art.
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.

This is a great little book about the life of a spoon - who whistfully feels jealous of knives and forks - until his mother reminds him of the amazing benefits of being a spoon. Just silly enough for younger kids, just abstract enough for smart kids and clever enough for all the adults who will read it. It's always difficult to impart wisdom and the notion of being grateful for what we have - with a light hand, but Rosenthal manages to do just that.
