It's written with an evolutionary view point and I wondered about some of their claims. ( ) This book is about how different cultures came to use eating utensils: fork, spoon, knife. The first utensils were the fingers. Then came the spoon for soup and the knife was last. This book I think was written for fun and education but I thought it was a little dull. The illustrations were dark. Younger child probably would not be interest in this book. In the classroom, students could use this book to be challenged to come up with a new invention. Students could be challenged to find a book that is informational (about everyday things) and write a report on it so that they could develop good research skills.
Mary Quattlebaum (Children's Literature) This is a non-fiction favorite. Giblin's table of contents gives some idea of the rich history he explores, with the first chapter entitled "Flint Knives and Fingers" and the final "Forks in Tokyo, Chopsticks in Chicago." And Giblin's humorous anecdotes and careful picture research make for a lively, enlightening look at the changing shape of utensils and the changing style of eating. 1987, Crowell/HarperCollins, $14.89.
