The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors: A Hilarious Battle Story About Epic Playground Heroes for Children (Ages 4–8)

Great book. Read this to my daughter class when I went in for Mystery reader. Was a great hit. Also bought rock paper scissor erasers on Amazon to give out to go with theme of book. Book is a good read for 7 year olds and kept there attention. Book is well illustrated. Good value and well written. Would buy again. Highly recommend this to any teachers or parents with kids in elementary levels.

Fun, creative story about the origination of the well-known game rock, paper, scissors! My kindergarteners loved listening to this story!

First grade grandson loved this book. It definitely kept his interest. I sent in the mail for a small "thinking of you" gift.

We first heard this story told on YouTube and after that we were sold. Bought it for my 7 yo and it's his favorite book. It's comical!

Love this book and I can’t wait to read it for my students.

My five-year-old grandson loves this book. I ordered it after seeing it recommended for 4-7 year-olds and was pleased with the result. My grandson did not know the game, so I taught it to him before reading him the book (yes, he wanted to wait to see what I chose, so that he could win!). The made-up legend is presented as an origin story for three great heroes: Rock, Paper, and Scissors. I would recommend reading it as if you were announcing professional wrestling--i.e., just match your voice and intonation to the print size and you should be fine. Read in a normal, quiet, reading voice and it would be a bit of a snore. But "ROCK IS VICTORIOUS" read with excitement and a wee bit of volume brings giggles.What also brings giggles are words like "underpants"--just saying the word is likely to get any four or five year-year-old dissolving into shocked laughter. My grandson also adopted Paper's watch phrase, "Wait. What!?" Which then allowed his mother and I to explain what a "private joke" was.If you're looking for lessons-to-be-learned, you'll have to work hard. Here are a few you could derive from the text:1. Winning all the time stops being fun if you don't have a challenger equal to your skills.2. Different people have different skills where they excel (Rock wins on pure strength, Paper by cleverness, Scissors with her unexpected snipping action).3. Competition does not have to be angry--after Rock, Paper, and Scissors finally get together the continue a "glorious" and "joyous" competition because they finally have a chance of losing.But, I had to work hard to pull those out, and it would probably ruin the experience to pull out morals."The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors" might be low on lessons learned, but it is high on delight.

IT IS SO GOOD! One of the greatest hits we’ve ever had at bedtime! I was trying to find a book that was fun and funny and this is that book. I think I’ve told 4 other mom friends about this book. It’s hilarious. My husband was on level 100 reading it, he was laughing so hard and kept saying “this is incredible.” We have 3 little girls and this was an extra special treat for him! It does say “butt” on one of the pages so not sure how you guys do books with your kids but wanted to mention that. Otherwise can’t recommend it enough, it is truly an epic tale.

Lots of good humor and clean fun… if your still deciding it’s funny like don’t push the button and book with no pictures - buy it
