Book Recommendation By Audrey Gao 2L

April 3, 2018

Dear Readers,

Do you like utensil books? Well, I recommend you read Spoon by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.

The main character is Spoon. I like him because he is sad sometimes. He is always comparing himself to his friends. He thought that his friends were better than him. His friends were different utensils so they had different jobs. Spoon’s jobs are mixing tea and clinking against the side of the cereal bowl. His friend Fork’s job was to eat cake! One reason why I like this book is on one page you get to see Spoon’s whole family. There are all kinds of different spoons! There are small spoons, big spoons, wood spoons, gold spoons, silver spoons and much more! The pictures are very silly. Secondly, I like the part when Spoon is in bed and his great grandmother was telling him that she fell in love with a dish. There is a nursery rhyme where the cow jumps over the moon and a spoon fell in love with a dish! That is exactly the story that Spoon’s great grandmother is telling him.

Another part that I like is the ending. At the end it says sweet dreams and Spoon has a very happy face. His dream shows a happy face on each dish filled with sweet treats! This made me feel like I was dreaming about sweet treats too.

So if you want to read this book, look for it on the 2L book nook shelf in my classroom.

Love,

Audrey
