His mum is a spoon. His dad is a fork. And he's a bit of both. He's Spork! Spork sticks out in the regimented world of the cutlery drawer. The spoons think he's too pointy, while the forks find him too round. He never gets chosen to be at the table at mealtimes until one day a very messy ? thing arrives in the kitchen who has never heard of cutlery customs. Will Spork finally find his place at the table? This "multi-cutlery" tale is a humorous and lively commentary on individuality and tolerance. Its high-spirited illustrations capture the experience and emotions of anyone who has ever wondered about their place in the world.

网友对Spork的评论

特别喜欢她的配色，纯度低灰度高，笔触有质感。绘本唯一的不足是这次采用的是铜版纸，过于光滑。

原版的绘本就是与众不同，这是国内大多数绘本无法比拟的。

This book has been a great treat for our 3-year-old and even has relevance for our 11-year-old, as it addresses the question, Who am I and why do I sometimes feel so out of place? Our girls get a kick out of the fact that the main character is a spork, who struggles to find himself, a topic that we, as parents, can easily segue into, both during and after our reading sessions. Highly recommend this purchase!

(Other books that we purchased that might be of interest include: What Do You Do With an Idea, The Most Magnificent Thing, and Rosie Revere, Engineer.)

I bought this for a storybook themed baby shower I co hosted. We had books to match each part of the shower, this went next to the silverware. I had never read this book but when I received it i was very impressed! The spork feels bad because everyone makes fun of him because he is different, not a spoon, not a fork. The other silverware talk about how they are so much better and what makes them better then the little spork. Eventually the spork learns that it ok to be yourself and be different. It's a great book for teachers and parents alike.

Love this book for my 2nd graders!

My kid was obsessed with sporks for some reason so I bought her a spork and this book for Christmas. What a wonderful surprise! This book has adorable illustrations and a great message about family and acceptance. My girls love it.

A artful story about finding a place in the world.
