Publisher Description
Take silly seriously! A fall-off-your-high-chair funny picture book starring a spoon, a fork, and the baby they both want to feed, perfect for fans of The Bad Seed.
“Time to feed the baby!” yells clock.
Tiny Spoon is ready for the job! But who’s this pointy guy?
“I’m Little Fork. I feed the baby, too!”
Wait. What? This isn’t going to get ugly, is it? (Nah!)
Who’s known baby longer? (Spoon)
Who’s good at stabbing and poking? (Fork)
Who comes from the best family? (Both families are rather impressive.)
Who does baby like better? (Neither. Turns out Baby likes throwing both utensils across the kitchen, and that’s EXACTLY what baby does.)
Now it's going to take cooperation—not competition—to make their way back to baby. And when they do get back they'll still have to feed the baby. Anyone who has ever tried to feed a baby knows it ain't easy—but does it have to be this hard?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two mortal enemies set aside their animosity for the sake of a common cause in this WWE-mimicking kitchen smackdown. When a kitchen clock announces "Time for breakfast!!!" Tiny Spoon, a yellow implement, and purple Little Fork jump out of their respective drawers, determined to win the heart, mind, and, most importantly, mouth of an energetic infant. Dialogue balloon text by Lombardo (Everybody Says Meow) is comically high-strung: "I've always fed the baby," says Spoon. "She loves to SIP! And SAVOR! And SLURP!" But Fork insists "now Baby wants to BITE! And CHOMP!" Dynamic paneled cartoons in nursery hues by creative team Dan & Jason (the Blue, Barry & Pancakes series) reach a fever pitch when pj-sporting Baby, who's portrayed with light brown skin and saucer eyes, toddles onto the scene, addressing the battling cutlery with equal enthusiasm as "Spood" and "Frok," and then gleefully hurtling them (and a much bedraggled pink stuffed rabbit) clear across the kitchen. But in this high-energy conflict turned collaboration, the duo make their way back to the table and prove they're a mighty mealtime force. "I got the oatmeal!" says Spoon, while Fork chimes in "Scrambled eggs! I'm on it!" Ages 4–8.
