Product Description

About the Book

Based on The comic adventures of Old Mother Hubbard and her dog, by Sarah Catherine Martin, originally published in London, 1805, by John Harris.

Book Synopsis

Old Mother Hubbard's poor dog just wants a bone. What he gets instead is even better!

Old Mother Hubbard sets off on a shopping spree to buy her hungry dog some shoes, a wig, a coat - everything but the bone he craves. This could take a while. But with Mother out and about, the dog can't just sit still. Not when he can ride a goat or wash the cat or dance a jig.

Mother Hubbard and dog's escapades get sillier and sillier with each new trip, until finally they both find what they're looking for. Any dog-loving child will appreciate the depiction of an excited dog who just can't wait.
