"Chopsticks" -Amy Krouse Rosenthal

One of the best things about working in a library is the number of picture books one can unabashedly read...for work, no less! Nothing boosts one's confidence than reading a dozen books in a day...

I've read Rosenthal's Spoon and while this is "not exactly a sequel to Spoon, more like a change in place setting," it was just as darling of a book. As utensils in the kitchen go about their designated purpose, sometimes life causes them to check out other options. Honestly, Rosenthal is just a great children's author. Original stories with fairly common place characters.

Similar in tone, I recommend Peter H. Reynolds' I'm Here, The North Star, and Sky Color for illustrations and simple, thought-provoking stories.
