AlbakiReads Editorial

A legendary spin on a familiar game

Rock, Paper, Scissors becomes the subject of an epic-style tale in this picture book by Drew Daywalt, with illustrations by Adam Rex. Its premise gives a familiar playground game a larger-than-life framing, while the publisher describes the book as humorous. At 48 pages, it offers a story built around the recognizable trio of the game rather than an explanation of how to play it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering the Rock, Paper, Scissors game
  • Families looking for a humorous picture book to share aloud
  • Readers interested in playful takes on legends and familiar games
