And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon - by Janet Stevens & Susan Stevens Crummel (Paperback)

About the Book

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....this fractured Mother Goose story explores what happens when Dish and Spoon fail to return. Looks like Cat, Cow, and Dog to the rescue!

Book Synopsis

Every night the rhyme gets read. Every night Dish and Spoon run away. And every night they return--until tonight!
Where can Dish and Spoon be? The rhyme can't go on without them, so Cat, Cow, and Dog set out to search for their missing friends. But where to start? Should they go north? East? Northeast? They'll just have to read Fork's map, ask directions, and try not to get lost in Little Boy Blue's haystack or under Miss Muffet's tuffet or in Big Bad Wolf's kitchen--"FEE, FI, FO . . ." Oh no. Could that be the giant?
