The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Mini Grey, published by Jonathan Cape in 2006.

According to the British librarians, the story shows "what happens next in the astonishing tale of the dazzling Dish and Spoon duo, after they run away together".

"[1] The Adventure "falls neatly into the currently popular slot of post-modernist retellings", according to Julia Eccleshare, children's books editor for The Guardian newspaper.

Commenting on the 2007 CILIP awards, she concluded, "Filmic in feel, and full of cinematic references, it unfolds beautifully with loads of visual jokes for children and adults alike.

[1] It was adapted as a musical by Bert Bernardi (writer and lyricist) and Scott Simonelli (composer) and staged in 2009 at the Downtown Cabaret Children's Theatre in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
