  <default_description>Meet Spoon.    &lt;P&gt;He's always been a happy little utensil.  But lately, he feels like life as a spoon just isn't cutting it.  He thinks Fork, Knife, and The Chopsticks all have it so much better than him.  But do they?  And what do they think about Spoon?  A book for all ages, Spoon serves as a gentle reminder to celebrate what makes us each special.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Similar in style to Krouse's other works (Little Pea and Little Hoot). Takes a unique look at the life of a little spoon - who is sad he does not have the same skills or attributes as his friends. He is reminded by his mother of all the unique things he can do.<br/><br/>Illustrations are cute. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like animated silverware, from &quot;the dish ran away with the spoon&quot; to the ones in Disney's &quot;Beauty and the Beast.&quot; So this book about Spoon, who has to do some thinking to realize how lucky he is to be him, really tickled me. I especially enjoyed the prancing chopsticks. ]]></body>
