FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Cabrera, Jane, Illustrator

Old Mother Hubbard

(3) PS This rendition based on the 1805 version by Sarah Catherine Martin finds Old Mother Hubbard out buying everything for her dog--a new hat, coat, wig, shoes, then finally, a bone--while he has some fun at home dancing a jig and riding a goat. Cabrera's bold, colorful paintings amusingly illustrate the jaunty rhyme.
