Book is in rhyme, with pictures in each line of text to help the child realize which object in the kitchen is saying what. Good example of personification.

"Teapot fell," said the dinner bell.
"Is she dead?" asked the bread
"Broke her spout," said the trout.
"Push her up," said the cup.
"I can't," said the ant.
"Please try," said the pie.

You'll have fun with this one.
