I found this book pondering on how a single spoon could stand alone as a title, let alone a spoon by itself on a book cover. It really got me reading as the story started when Spoon is feeling blue. His mother noticed as he slumps over a bowl of blueberries. He told his Mom how lucky his friends were like “Knife” who could cut and spread jelly, “Fork” who could spear salad mix in one stroke or dig into a soft moist yellow cake and not to forget his friend “Chopsticks” who could pick up those lovely mouth loaded goodness sushi.
And when Spoon was done complaining to his Mom, she told him how lucky he was according to what his friends were saying about him like doing things that he could do such as banging the pot, measure stuff, to be able to do things by himself and the first to dig into a bowl of ice cream (in my book that is very lucky).
In the end, Spoon realizes that he is enough to feel good about himself. And yes, Spoon can definitely stand alone as a title and be his own book cover.
