BOOK NOOK REVIEWS: The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by Drew Daywalt

TITLE: The Legend Of Rock Paper Scissors

AUTHOR: Drew Daywalt

ILLUSTRATOR: Adam Rex

PUBLISHER: Balzer & Bray, 2017

SYNOPSIS: “From acclaimed, bestselling creators Drew Daywalt, author of The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home, and Adam Rex, author-illustrator of Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, comes a laugh-out-loud hilarious picture book about the epic tale of the classic game Rock, Paper, Scissors.”

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK : There are some children book authors who become one hit wonders and only share one great story with young readers. Then there are others, like NYT’s best selling children’s book author, Drew Daywalt, who manage to create many attention-grabbing, smartly-written best selling stories to share with millions of young readers all around the world! When I first picked up THE LEGEND OF ROCK PAPER SCISSORS, I didn’t really pay attention to who wrote the story. I was stopped by the captivating artwork of rock star illustrator, Adam Rex. Later, as I watched my own students play the ancient game of rock, paper, scissors with their friends, I had to admit Mr. Daywalt had written a gem of a story. Illustrator, Adam Rex’s, beautiful artwork creates such a clever backdrop to a superbly written tale of ancient competitions and the beginning of some beautiful friendships! Definitely a great addition to any library!

RATING: ***** 5 Stars *****
