Welcome to Litsy!

The three great warriors had different backgrounds and still became best friends. Funny story for students

3 opponents go up against each other to prove who is the all time champ

“and yet smooshing you has brought me no joy.”

“And it is said that this joyous struggle still rages on to this very day. That is why children around the world— in backyards, on playgrounds, and yes, even in classrooms— still honor the three great warriors by playing… Rock, Paper, Scissors!”

I think it‘s so cute how they really take the time to name the areas of this house like a kingdom. I think it really helps students immerse themselves in the world of the story.

I absolutely love this book! It‘s so silly and enables whoever‘s reading it to really act out each character. Kids are able to use what they already know about the game of Rock. Paper. Scissors, and apply it to what they think is going to happen as the story goes on.

This was surprisingly funny. I laughed out loud several times. And bc I‘m a nerd I read it like a Battle Bots announcer😂 Wes was into it. Go check it out, you‘ll thank me!

Not sure who enjoyed this more - me or my nephew. 😂🤣

I read this with a friend, and the story was so funny and enjoyable to read. I took the role of rock, using a deep and strong voice, while my friend played the role of narrator and other characters, using a variety of tones and voices. We had a lot fun reading this picture book.

“But the Battle had been too easy. So Rock left the Kingdom of Backyard, still in search of a worthy foe.”

I love that they call the Backyard a Kingdom, all kids who play Rock, Paper, Scissors will love this fun and colorful book.

This is F telling the story of how the game rock, paper, scissors came to be through each individual item never finding someone to beat until they meet each other and continuously defeat and get defeated. They never stop playing with each other from there on. It won the New York Times Best Seller and would be such a fun RT in which the children are able to stay engaged and get to run around a little bit. #ucflae3414f19

Review: The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by Drew Daywalt, 2017 is a picture book about how the game of rock paper scissors started! It is a very funny animated book with amazing illustrations.
Blurb: The book brings three different storylines together by the end and it flows very well throughout.
Quote: “Rock versus clothespin! Rock is victorious!“

Loved this goofy tale, but the artwork really makes it fun. #bbrc #picturebooks @LibrarianRyan

This book is an MF and would use it in my classroom as a RT to create props and have my students act it out. The story is about the rock, the paper, and the scissors trying to find competition in their battle to see who‘s the best in their quest the encounter other things like a computer printer, and dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets which are no match for them but a fight against each other will be the challenge they‘ve been waiting for!

This MF read is author Drew Daywalt‘s twist on an old story of Rock, Paper, and Scissors. The pictures created by Adam Rex, make you feel like you are fighting beside each “warrior” as they take on the quest of finding someone who can beat them. There is no question as to why this was chosen for the Flicker Take Children‘s Book Award. This would be a great S approach for the classroom use. Teachers could really dig into the personalities of each..

This book describes the beginning epic battles of how rock, paper, scissors first became a game!

I adore reading this aloud to children and making up funny voices. The illustrations and wording are perfect for four through eight year olds, and children will forever know how rock came to fight paper, paper fight scissors!

Note: this is a photo I took at a recent home and garden expo in Philadelphia. Thought it fit here!

Reading this #picturebook at the local elementary schools for the next two weeks, along with epic Rock Paper Scissors brackets. It‘s definitely one to practice “doing voices” when you read aloud. The first few pages include two underwear and butt jokes, so you know it‘s good. #raisingreaders #librarianlife #litsyloveslibraries

I can‘t believe we didn‘t have this book before now. Thanks for the suggestion @Lmstraubie ! We all loved it and laughed our pants off at this page. 😆#DrewDaywalt is an official #automaticbuy for us. Loved #AdamRex ‘s illustrations, too.

Omg this made me laugh so hard!!

If kids picked the Caldecott, I‘m pretty sure this one would win. Fun, interactive, creative, and amazingly illustrated. My whole family enjoyed this one.

This book is so cute, clever, and funny. As entertaining for me as for my five year old. It's the story of why we play the game we now know as Rock, Paper, Scissors.

This book is a modern fantasy that tells the origin story of the game, rock, paper, scissors. Rock paper scissors is how i taught my after school program kids settle arguments. I've read this to them and when they disagree they instantly play and 95% of the time the loser accepts the loss. I found a great book trailer and activities to match the book. #UCFWalterslit https://m.harpercollins.com/childrens/rockpaperscissor

Highlight of my day at #aasl17 was listening to, meeting, and getting the autographs of Drew Daywalt and Adam Rex!

This is one of the cutest books we‘ve read in a LONG TIME.

This book is violent so parents should keep that in mind but I still recommend it. It's creative and hilarious.

This book = laugh-out-loud funny for kids AND moms. #raisingreaders #kidapproved #momapproved

Drew Daywalt has done it again! This hilarious book tells the story of 3 fierce warriors who search far and wide to find worthy adversaries and finally find them in each other. Adults and children alike will enjoy this story so read it and love it!

I had such a good time reading this today for story time! The parents enjoyed it just as much as the kids. Read aloud with super dramatic voices (especially for Rock) and prepare for laughter 😜 #daywalt #storytime #bookseller #kidsdept #funny #legendofrockpaperscissors

Not as good as Day the Crayons Quit, but cute nonetheless.
