Mini Grey's witty text and exquisite illustrations combine to make this a must-have gem.

Hey Diddle Diddle The Cat and the Fiddle The Cow jumped over the Moon. The Little Dog laughed To see such fun And the Dish ran away with the Spoon

That's the bit we know - but have you ever wondered what happened next? Mini Grey, the creator of such favourites as Biscuit Bear and The Pea and the Princess, has this brilliantly funny and wonderfully inventive suggestion, narrated by one of the principal players - the Spoon himself.

Part love story, part crime caper, The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon is the rags-to-riches and back again tale of the most dazzling crockery-cutlery duo of all time.

Mini Grey was given her name after being born in a Mini in a car park in Newport, Wales. After studying English at university, Mini worked as a theatre designer for several years before training as a primary school teacher. This led to six years teaching in South London. She then moved to Oxford and started an MA in Sequential Illustration at Brighton University. During her time there she completed a project on Gulliver's Travels, turning it into a pop-up book and animation. The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon is Mini's fifth book for children.

Reviews for The Adventures Of The Dish And The Spoon

One of the picture books of the year -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times * Grey's pictures are busy, witty, lively . . . No romantic or fly by night of any age could resist this book -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * Mini Grey, with all the dash of matinee heroics, pulls it off, with a story and pictures that deserve close examination -- Dina Rabinovitch * Guardian * Combining cinematic breadth with extravagant detail, these kaleidoscopic pictures invite and reward endless exploration and you're left humming the tune long after the final curtain -- Joanna Carey * Guardian * An original, detailed story told with great humour * The Bookseller *
