Good take on working together submitted by andrewa on July 31, 2015, 10:36pm Cute book talking about how one chopstick would be useless without the other. Kids loved this on at reading time.

Similar to Spoon submitted by Sara W on August 29, 2015, 9:09pm This story of a pair of chopsticks that do everything together until one day they must learn to operate separately brings Rosenthal's trademark charm, wordplay, and fun. Chopsticks are amazing as a pair, but when injury lays one low, the other has to learn how to do things on his own, This is a great message for a reluctant kid who is reliant on a friend, parent, or comfort object. It's great to be crazy about someone, even to need them a lot, but it's important (and fun!) to be able to do things solo as well.

beautiful submitted by kathiravan on July 23, 2017, 8:56pm A beautiful story told completely through pictures.

Chopsticks so cool submitted by Hanh Bui on June 15, 2019, 10:50pm My daughter LOVES this book. The story is really funny, and the art is simple yet amazing. Highly recommended (esp. if you love Spoon)

Peaceful Partnership submitted by trina05 on June 14, 2021, 7:38pm Chopsticks are excellent partners, but can they find their own way after a challenging incident? Wonderful illustrations, quick and cute story.
