Summary: Sun and Spoon
Review: I am a sap. I admit it. I get weepy when one of those touching television commercials comes on. Disney movies can get me too. Those are visual images, though. Books have never gotten to me in the same way. I sold books for six years and am now a Children's Librarian...so I read and have always read A LOT. Only two books have ever made me cry.

This one made me weep. It is a thing of beauty. The prose is spare and poetic. The characters breathe from their first appearance. The story is so real, so well handled. I don't think anyone could read this short novel and come away unaffected. There is a wonderful network of symbols at work in this book...but you don't have to analize them in order to enjoy meeting Spoon and his family...to feel the depth of his relationship with both his grandparents...and glimpse with him the depth of his grandparent's relationship with each other. Excellent reading for any age reader!

Summary: Sun & Spoon
Review: I thought this book was a very good book. Tha main character is Spoon Gilmore. If you like plays you will like this book. This book is broken up into parts. This is what the book is about. It was only two months since Spoon'sgrandmother died. He thought he would need something to remind him of her. Spoon's little sister Joanie won't stop tagging along and pestering him even when they go into their grandmother's house. I hope you read this book and like it as much as I did.

Summary: Lessons Learned
Review: Kevin Henke did again. He made another one of his spectacular books. Sun and Spoon is a great book for children. It teaches kids honesty, friendship, and family. It talks about a boy who hardly knew a thing about his grandma. Then when he wanted to know a little about her it was to late, she had died. This taught me that I should spend time with older people in my family, especially my great aunt and uncle. That's why I go to their house every other week. This book had a big impact on me and it might do the same to you

Review: Sun and Spoon is a really good book for 7 to 19 year olds to enjoy alot. Sun and Spoon is a story, where their grandmother dies, and a boy named Spoon that's looking for something of hers to keep to remember her by. Sun and Spoon is about a sister and brother fighting but also how they make again. It's about stealing a deck of sun cards that belong to his grandmother. But giving them back after awhile. It's about lieing to his grandfather about the deck of cards. It's about collecting stuff after a nice stormy rain fall. Sun and Spoon is about giving people things to remeber somebody by. It's about helping famliy out and spening time with them evey day. So if you like to read books about family then you should get Sun and Spoon. It's a really, really good book to read, especialy at a young age.
