Review

"Fairly simple language contrasts with heightens the satirical tone, and the narrative is packed with tongue-in-cheek humor."

"This book's saturated illustrations glow with humor and affection, and are charmingly amplified by spare text that lets the pictures do most of the talking."

"Spoon's narration has just the right air of world-weariness mixed with wide-eyed idealism to draw readers in to the fun, while the mixed-media illustrations employ full-bleed sequential panels to present the whole story."

"Grey...moves briskly from one comic cliffhanger to the next, including a close call on the railroad tracks and a Bonnie-and-Clyde bank heist with tragic consequences for the ceramic moll...Sprung from a familiar stanza, this inventive tale of true love will sustain many rereadings by readers of all ages."

Publisher's note

Having run away together, the Dish and the Spoon from the nursery rhyme "The Cat and the Fiddle" become vaudeville stars before turning to a life of crime. By the creator of Traction Man Is Here.

Annotation

An exciting, dramatic picture book tale filled with fame, money, crime, and more, is in store for readers of THE ADVENTURES OF THE DISH AND THE SPOON. Inspired by the cat's tune "Hey Diddle Diddle," the Dish and the Spoon run off together to find their fortunes performing on stage in 1920s America. But after wildly spending their earnings and living the highlife, the two find themselves threatened by the dreaded Carving Knife Game. Is the romance over, or will these two plucky characters save themselves from certain destruction? Illustrated with a bonanza of color, this book is by the author of the critically acclaimed TRACTION MAN IS HERE! Winner of the 2007 Kate Greenaway Medal.
