Why I like this book
Spoon was the first book I found of Amy's and loved. When I picked up Chopsticks I had a feeling it would be just as good.It's witty, humorous and full of puns. One of my favorite parts has to be after Chopstick gets hurt and an actual whisk races him off to the doctors - too cute!
