The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon - Mini Grey
Random House
ISBN: 0-375-83691-8

My rating: 4 out of 5

In nursery rhyme of “Hey Diddle Diddle,” we all learned that the Dish ran away with the Spoon, but what happened after that? This book goes on to tell of the rise, fall, and triumphant return of Dish and Spoon. This book made me laugh the entire time. Not only is story funny, but there are little things placed in the background that just make the story even funnier.

The illustrations are what make this book. The art is done in a cartoony style that both kids and adults will love. I also liked how a variety of media (such as photos, watercolor, pastels, and paint) was used. I really gives a nice effect to the book.

Overall, “The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon” is a fun read that kids will enjoy.
