Fleeing Fries, Peas in Pursuit

Following on guest blogger Chris Serres’ evening meal theme three days ago, here’s a fun review of two children’s books “The Runaway Dinner” by Allan Ahlberg and “The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon” by Mini Grey.
I love the description in the second book of the Spoon stumbling across the Dish 25 years after they run away. She is in a junk shop, lonely and bereft. She weeps “Don’t look at me Spoon….I am old and cracked, and my glaze is crazed.”
Anybody read these? Let us know what you think. I’m thinking holiday gifts.
