Old Mother Hubbard

Description

Old Mother Hubbard's poor dog just wants a bone. What he gets instead is even better! Old Mother Hubbard's poor dog just wants a bone in this giggle-along board book. Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her dog a bone. But when she finds there's none, she goes shopping instead! She buys some shoes, a wig, a coat - everything but the bone her hungry dog craves. But the bone-crazy dog can't just wait - no, not when not when he can wash the cat or dance a jig. Mother Hubbard and her dog's antics get sillier and sillier, until finally everyone's happy. Any dog-lover will relate to the hilarious things that dogs do when asked to wait, and this is the perfect example, in a sturdy board book that is perfect for small hands.
