Spoon

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Spoon, a humble young utensil, feels disenfranchised: Knife "gets to cut," Fork "gets to go practically EVERYWHERE," etc.; meanwhile, little does Spoon know that he's the object of the other utensils' envy. This tastefully punning (Spoon goes "stir-crazy") tale of envy and, finally, self-acceptance has improbably wide appeal, thanks to illustrations that somehow manage to anthropomorphize a clutch of cutlery.
