Peanut Butter & Cupcake

As an experienced mom, I’ve learned that there are some books that my kids like to hear that I hate to read, and some books that I like to read that they don’t love. This book sits in that magical place in the middle. It has a fun rhyme that’s not too cloyingly annoying with enough going on that I like to read it. It’s a great little book for bedtime if you’re a parent who aims for a fast bedtime routine (probably a 5 min read or so)

We absolutely love this book in our home, The pictures in this book are not drawings, they are photos of actual items that have been posed/staged within a miniature set. The scenes throughout this book are admirable, funny, whimsical, creative, and unique. My daughter said, "Papa, how did they get that piece of Peanut Butter Toast to kick that soccer ball?" "Creativity, I guess they wanted to see that happen so they just created it and made it happen" I replied The story is very enjoyable, cute, and has a good message. The flow & rhythm makes it fun and easy to read and for children to listen to, as one of the reviewers said, "it is a read aloud hit"

With kids when you're one on one with them you can pick a book that's a little more complicated with more twists and turns Kids get very stressed out in groups and when coming to a circle time after stopping playing (it's called a transition) and so the repetition and simplicity of this book is perfect. It helps kids calm down and understand what's happening. A literal triumph of a book as far as books to read in a school setting. Amazing, amazing book. Major kudos to the author. Really nailed it. I'm so impressed. Love this book. Love it. Fun pics too

I read this to my kindergarten's whole class. All 22 of them loved it. Many will like it for the clever photographed objects with paper clip feet. Good story about trying to find friends and not giving up when kid after kid rejects you when you ask them to play...it was a very fitting story for my older child, a 1st grader who loves soccer, peanut butter and used to often get rejected by kids when she asked if they wanted to play with her. It proves that you can't let yourself feel down and give up on yourself just because some kids don't want to play with you. Eventually peanut butter, like my daughter, found a friend and from there found more friends. It made my daughter feel like she's not the only one with a story about rejection and reinforced the idea to her that you don't have to feel bad about yourself because someone doesn't want to play with you (peanut butter never gets sad, s/he just moves on). Thank for this great story Terry Border.

This was my favorite book to read with my son from the time he was very little to the time he could read it back to me! It's a great book to help learn to read, too. I buy this book for all baby showers now, because I think everyone would enjoy it with their children. I absolutely love this book and the rest of the series!

This book is full of funny puns and interesting photos that illustrate the story. The photos will hold the interest of a toddler while the jokes will put a smile on the face of your 1st grader. I’d recommend this book for your little one or as a gift to someone else’s kiddo!

The art in this book is amazing. As far as I can tell it's a combination of real-life photography and colorful illustrations. I also enjoyed the message this story sends to children: perseverance is the key to success in all things, especially when you're new to town. The story shows that sometimes it's hard to make friends. You may be shot down many times along the way, and it may at times feel hopeless, but eventually you will succeed as long as you don't give up. So, stay true to your heart, be kind, don't be afraid to ask someone to play, and we'll go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly! I personally found this book a tiny bit repetitive and the character voices not all that unique. Of course, my 6 year old son couldn't disagree more. He absolutely adores this book and would read it every night at bedtime for at least a decade if I could tolerate it that many times in a row.

I bought this book for my grandson, age 3. He is now 5 years old, and he and I still love this book. The characters in the book come to life, and as I have found in all of Terry Border's books, there is a lesson to be learned. My grandson loves all of Terry Borders books. He never gets tired or bored of his books. He brought this book into his preschool class, and his teacher read it. She loved it too, and so did all the children in the class. My grandson's only wish is that Terry Border could come over to his house for a play date.

My kid loves this book and so has everyone else that's read it! It came in handy for the transition to school and making new friends.

Great condition. Took a while to get it. My son loves the book. I recommend to other kids age 3-6.

My son loves it...he has most of it memorized.

This was a birthday present for my granddaughter. She loves it!

We love this author. Witty, fun and always makes our children and us laugh!
