Quirky Cute
By Valerie A. Baute
Spoon was an adorable book, and Chopsticks doesn't disappoint either.Chopsticks do everything together until one of them gets hurt! At first, the other one stays with his buddy through the healing process. Eventually, he is persuaded to go out and do things on his own. What results is a growth that wouldn't have occurred if they hadn't separated, as well as a lifelong friendship that can't be "broken."I really liked the theme of this, that it is okay to branch out and try new things. It doesn't mean you will lose your friendship or stop being able to be the chopstick that you were. The illustrations in this book are simple and wonderful. Also, it is just a very cute book for children and adults. The children will like the story. The adults will like the play on words, such as how Knife is "sharp like that". With some parent interactions, I'm sure most kids will soon pick up on the quirky sayings as well. I'm not going to give away any more of the joys of this book. You'll have to read it to discover them all.

By Paul and Jen
This book is a stitch. Even if you haven't read Spoon, get this book! It's clever, funny, and has a wonderful message. I purchased it for my twin godchildren. . .I knew this book would hit home for them through many stages of their lives! I read it to my own kids and they giggled and laughed and giggled some more. It's great!
