1: Cute and Imaginative
Very cute and a neat spin on the traditional tale. My 4 year old enjoyed it immensely and wanted to read it again as soon as we hit the end.

2: great purchase
I ordered the book "and the dish ran away with the spoon" and it was in great shape. I am very pleased.

3: Hey Diddle Diddle
So Dish and Spoon run away at the end of the rhyme but now the story needs to be read again and the pair have not returned. Characters from other Mother Goose rhymes take off to find them. Little Boy Blue, a giant, the cow, and Humpty Dumpty all play a role. Crummel's characteristic humor is fun to read aloud.
A lavish map allows young readers to follow the action. I often used this book as an introduction to map skills with my primary grades. Crummel's sister, Janet Stevens, paints quirky expressions and humorous situations that underscore the story. Children will enjoy finding Fork on each page as a sort of "where's Waldo/I Spy" entertainment.
Visitors to Susan Stephens Crummel's website are invited with "Teacher Tips" to use along with her books.

4: Funny story
This is a cute picture book about what happened the dish and spoon didn't come back in time for the rhyme.
The pictures are incredible- what a great artist!

5: One of the best children's books
This is one of the best children's books I have ever read! The author does a great job of using multiple nursery rhymes and the book has some great play on words. This is a must-have in our library and I have also given it as presents to family members and teachers.
