Bookroo's summary

Peanut Butter is on a quest to find a friend, but it's not easy when Hamburger is busy with his dogs, Cupcake is preoccupied with her sprinkle castles, and Egg can't stop cracking up. As Peanut Butter navigates these humorous encounters, young readers will delight in the mismatched pairings and wonder if he'll ever find his perfect companion. With playful rhymes and whimsical food characters, this charming tale of friendship and perseverance promises laughter and heartwarming moments for the whole family.

From the publisher

For fans of The Day the Crayons Quit, Little Pea, or How Are You Peeling? What’s a little piece of bread to do when he’s feeling lonely? Find a friend, of course! And that’s exactly what Peanut Butter tries to do. But sometimes friends are hard to come by, especially when Hamburger has to walk his (hot) dogs, Cupcake is too busy building castles in her sprinkle box, and Egg laughs so hard he starts to crack up! Does Peanut Butter have a soulmate? Young readers will know the answer long before Peanut Butter does and laugh along with each mismatched pairing. In a story that pairs silliness with poignancy, and friendship with anthropomorphic food, Terry Border, the photography mastermind behind the Bent Objects project, makes a triumphant entrance into the children’s book world. Complete with a rhyming refrain, this is sure to be a favorite family read-aloud–and laugh-aloud. Praise for PEANUT BUTTER & CUPCAKE Border’s witty food comedy will lure children who are hungry for clever visual entertainment.–Publishers Weekly [T]he creatively zany photographs…will make this a read-aloud hit.–School Library Journal This book would be a great read-aloud on friendship and food.–Library Media Connection
