“Spoon” is a picture book written by Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by Scott Magoon. I think this book is directed to kids around the age of 4 or 5 because the story’s morals is very simple and tell you to like who you are and don’t change who you are because other people might look at you like you look at them.

 

The story starts with a spoon and showing spoons family Then spoon becomes sad because he thinks he doesn’t do anything very special. He compares himself to his friend knife, fork and chopstick. The it goes into the other people’s thoughts about spoon, they say how laid back he is and always can be silly. The story ends with the spoon realizing that he is special even though he thought he wasn’t. The spoon learned to consider himself special even though he didn’t in the beginning.

 

I liked the story, it teaches kid that even though you might not think you’re special, you probably are special in some way. I enjoy the illustrations a lot because they are drawn in a very cute visual style that I enjoy.
