Preschool - 2

I loved the illustrations! I love how each fork and spoon look different. I enjoy the story line of being a mixture and feeling the need to be one or the other and failing. Classic "you are okay just the way you are" ending.

Wonderfully illustrated. It's ok to be different. ( )

Spork feels bad about himself because he is different from all the other silverware. It is rare for spoons and forks to make and have someone like the spork. He doesn’t feel like he fits in anywhere and tries to change himself. When he’s more like a spoon, the forks don’t like him. When he’s more like a fork, the spoons don’t like him. In the end, he realizes he is a perfect match for a baby and its food. I would recommend this book to children because it teaches self acceptance, and the different kinds of silverware hint at diversity. They may also enjoy hearing the story from the spork’s point of view. I enjoyed this book because I like how the spork was able to feel useful in the end and feel like he had a purpose.
