About This Book

The collection presents short, traditional nursery rhymes rendered in simple, rhythmic lines and paired with expressive illustrations. Playful vignettes depict a cat and its fiddle, a cow leaping over the moon, a dog’s mirth, and crockery running off together, alongside a soothing lullaby about a baby wrapped in a rabbit skin and a parent setting out to fetch it. The pacing alternates lively absurdity and gentle domestic warmth, suitable for reading aloud and for young listeners.

HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE






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.








BABY BUNTING.





Bye, Baby Bunting!





Father's



gone



a-hunting,





Gone to fetch



a Rabbit-skin





To wrap the Baby Bunting in.
