"And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon" by Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel

This is a delightful read, especially for anyone familiar with nursery rhymes. When Dish and Spoon run too far away, it’s up to the cow, the dog, and the cat to go and find them. Their chase takes them to Boy Blue’s haystack, Miss Muffet’s house, the Big Bad Wolf’s house, and finally a beanstalk. Peppered with allusions to other nursery rhymes (and puns that probably only adults and older children will catch), this story is a must-read for anyone who wants to impart the fun and value of traditional nursery rhymes to their children!
