And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon

Customer Reviews:

One heck of a winner

By Kim M Mangelsdorf - June 5, 2001

I recently bought this book for my child and I can't decide who wants to read it more. He is three and says, "It's cool!" and I personally can't get enough of it. The jokes neatly planted in there and the wonderful illustrations makes this book a winner. It is one to buy for your kids and to save for the grandkids even. If you only have a bit of money to spend on a book, choose this one!

A Rip Roarin' Time!

By Roz Levine - May 25, 2001

Everybody knows the old familiar nursery rhyme...Hey diddle diddle/The cat and the fiddle/The cow jumped over the moon/The little dog laughed/To see such sport/And the dish ran away with the spoon...Only this time they didn't come back. The cat, dog and cow are beside themselves. What are we going to do without the dish and spoon? Could this be the end of the rhyme? So taking matters into their own hands they set off on an adventure to find their errant tableware. First they literally meet a fork in the road, who saw the dish and the spoon go by.

Janet Stevens has written a very clever and witty story that will have both youngsters and adults smiling, giggling and finally laughing out loud. Her... read more

Can we read the Dish & Spoon book again Mommy?

By Lynn G - December 13, 2001

My 4 1/2 year old daughter absolutely loves this book. We originally borrowed it from the library, but she was heartbroken when it had to be returned. Although we've read it at least a dozen times, the story, familiar nursery rhymes and whimsical, beautiful pictures continue to grasp her interest. Parents will also enjoy this book, since it is written in a manner for both adults and children. I especially like the point where the characters traveling down the path come to a fork in the road, and it is actually a "fork" in the road, which will help them look for "spoon". I am always delighted when my daughter, Kelly, chooses this book for her bedtime selection.
