For fans of The Day the Crayons Quit, Little Pea, or How Are You Peeling?
What’s a little piece of bread to do when he’s feeling lonely? Find a friend, of course!
And that’s exactly what Peanut Butter tries to do. But sometimes friends are hard to come by, especially when Hamburger has to walk his (hot) dogs, Cupcake is too busy building castles in her sprinkle box, and Egg laughs so hard he starts to crack up! Does Peanut Butter have a soulmate? Young readers will know the answer long before Peanut Butter does and laugh along with each mismatched pairing.
In a story that pairs silliness with poignancy, and friendship with anthropomorphic food, Terry Border, the photography mastermind behind the Bent Objects project, makes a triumphant entrance into the children's book world. Complete with a rhyming refrain, this is sure to be a favorite family read-aloud--and laugh-aloud.
Praise for PEANUT BUTTER & CUPCAKE
"Border’s witty food comedy will lure children who are hungry for clever visual entertainment."--Publishers Weekly
"[T]he creatively zany photographs...will make this a read-aloud hit."--School Library Journal
"This book would be a great read-aloud on friendship and food."--Library Media Connection
I read this to my 2nd-grade class. They loved this book about friendship. The pictures are wonderful as the author used real-life photos to show the foods used in telling this story. The dialogue is witty and had the class laughing a lot throughout the story. I've been reading a variety of books to my students about kindness and friendship and this is one of their favorites. I recommend this book to parents and teachers of young children.
