This was a nice little read for my daughter, but didn't stay with her much the first time I read it to her. She wasn't taken in very much by the pictures and the story was well enough for her but made sure we went through everything because she had many questions, mainly why the story was about a spoon-fork boy as she called him and why everyone was being mean. ***I received this copy from Picture Windows Book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

It was a different way to talk to her about the differences in people and the inequality that happens to often, but it took much to discern the similarities when it involved cooking utensils. Not saying that she didn't grasp the concept right away, it just didn't really catch her attention. Other children's book that have had the same theme have been more captivating for her, mostly the illustrations involved and characters.
Although this was not one of our favorites, it still got the message along pretty well at the end of everything, but not something that will have my daughter wanting to read it several more times. It was a cute enough story and great meaning behind it. I don't doubt many others will like it even love it, but as for us it was only turned out to be a three star read.
