"Cutlery vies for a baby’s love in one of the sillier offerings of the list (and I mean that as a compliment).” — Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal



Unwrapping Some Illustrations 















The Book


It's breakfast time and clock announces its arrival.  


"Time to feed the baby!" yells clock. Bringg!  Bringg!  Bringg!  


The drawers of the kitchen cupboard roll open and up pops a yawning  tiny spoon and a little pointy fork all ready to do the job.  But wait?  That's always been spoon's job right?  Baby loves to sip, savor and slurp her food off of spoon.  Little fork explains to spoon that baby wants to move on to biting, chomping and munching and he's the perfect utensil to get the job done.  


Both fork and spoon deliver their resumes as to why they believe they deserve the honour of feeding baby.  Baby toddles into the kitchen and  proves she has a mind of her own.  The moment of truth arrives.  Which one will baby choose to feed her breakfast? Can you guess? 


Little Spoon and Little Fork learn a very valuable lesson.  Baby's surprise decision forces the two to work together and not against each other to finally satisfy baby's tummy.  


The illustrations are fantastic, full of detail, humour and fun.  The book is written in comic/graphic novel style and the storyline is simple and very entertaining.  This book can be used to discuss differences, acceptance, friendship, babies and table etiquette.  I love it and highly recommend it.
