Chopsticks

Chopsticks are a pair, they are never apart.  They love to do things together and try new tricks.  One day one of them breaks their leg and must rest and take it easy.  So chopstick is left to find things he can do without his partner.  He is stumped but eventually is able to do some things alone.  When they are reunited they find that they are able to work alone but are best a team.

I love love these books! My kids want me to read them over and over and we laugh and laugh at the pictures and the story.  They have great illustrations, making things in your house come alive, and so many funny plays on words.  I think that they are a fantastic read aloud and a fun set to add to any collection.   I am so hoping that they are going to write more about knife and fork too! I purchased both books from amazon.com
