summer jam: peanut butter and cupcake by terry border

June 23, 2015 ashley donati

Peanut Butter is lonely and needs a friend.  His mom tells him to go out and find one.  He meets lots of potential friends - a cupcake that doesn't want to share its sandbox, a burger that is too busy taking its hot dogs for a walk, and a box of french fries that is running behind and needs to ketchup (punny pun pun).  He finally finds a friend that goes with him like peanut butter goes with jam.  Can you guess who is new friend is?  

Terry Border creates his own form of art that he calls "bent objects".  Take a look at his website, terryborder.com, for more of his creations, some for the kiddos and some of adult audiences.  It is incredible how adding wire arms and legs to an everyday inanimate object like a cupcake or a hot dog can suddenly infuse it with such life and personality!  If you enjoy this book, look for Border's latest kid's book, Happy Birthday, Cupcake coming out later this summer!
