Spoon

The book “Spoon” by Amy Krous Rosenthal illustrated by Scott Magoon should be a book for ages 5-10. It is for ages 5-10 because it has very simple words and sentences. The book is about a spoon and how he feels down. First, the spoon visits his Aunt Silver then at night he hears about the story of how his great-grandmother and how she fell in love with a dish and ran off. Lately spoon has been feeling blue. Then he saw all the lucky things that a knife can do like cutting and spreading. He then saw how the fork can be everywhere like being on the barbeque, the salad bowl and the cake. He also saw the Chopsticks and he thought they were really cool and exotic. While spoon was saying how lucky his friends are his friends was saying how lucky he was like he is fun and easygoing, get to measure stuff and can go places by himself. Later that night his mom told him how lucky he was. He gets to dive headfirst into a bowl of ice cream, gets to clink against the side of a cereal bowl and get to relax in a hot cup of tea. I think the main meaning of the book is “look at how lucky you are not someone else”.  I liked the book because I think the meaning of the book is a very important lesson. In conclusion, I thought it was a very interesting book and I would recommend it to anyone who thinks they aren’t lucky.
