I liked this better than [b:Spork|8301964|Spork|Kyo Maclear|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1287471078s/8301964.jpg|13150706].
I ADORE this book. It's clever. I used this to teach author's purpose and claim writing with my high school juniors and they liked it just as much (if not more because they appreciated Rosenthal's devices) as my three year old.
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.
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
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.
