librarybonanza 's review for:

Peanut Butter & Cupcake by Terry Border
4.0

Age: Preschool-2nd grade
Familiar Issue: New kid on the block

Perhaps inspired by Facebook feeds obnoxiously full of food pictures, Border presents a sweet tale of a Peanut Butter. Having moved into the neighborhood he has no friends to play soccer with him. The book shows him introducing himself to several food products, each with unique, distinct, and sometimes quirky personalities. Just when he had given up, he finally finds the perfect friend: Jelly.

The title is an odd choice because Cupcake gets just as much time in the book as all the other foods. But the dry humor and silliness makes up for it. Great photography and staging!
