Review

The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors is a fun, laugh-out-loud story packed with action. Colorful and exciting illustrations paired with creative font change ups bring the legend and its epic warriors to life. I loved reading this book, especially the battle with the apricot and the frozen dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. Highly recommended for those who love action with humor, and don’t mind a butt joke.

Storyline

You’ve played the game. Now read the legend of the three great warriors who started it all . . . Rock, Paper, Scissors!
