And the dish ran away with the spoon

Did you ever wonder what would happen if the dish really ran away with the spoon? This book is the answer to that question. Using the premise that the dish and spoon usually come back before the next reading of the book, the Stevens sisters created a fun book that incorporates many other characters from the magical land of fairy tales and nursery rhymes including the big, bad wolf, the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Boy Blue. This book will be great when studying nursery rhymes and fairy tales. It should be used with students who are familiar with the characters, so the students will understand the jokes/puns. Another way to use this book is to create alternate endings in the same style using this book as a model.
