Fat Dog Quote with Bulldog . . .

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.

I scanned these images from another of my antiquarian children's books: 'The Hey Diddle Diddle Picture Book by R. Caldecott' published in London by Frederick Warne and Co., Ltd. (the same company that published all of the Beatrix Potter books).

I absolutely love the 19th century illustrations by Ralph Caldecott. Click any picture to enlarge.

Tea or Wine left this comment on my earlier post about this wonderful artist: "These are lovely illustrations from a simpler time in children's literature. The watercolors are soothing and soft. Today, Caldecott lives on as each year an American picture book is awarded the Caldecott Medal for excellence in its illustrations."

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day. ♥Rosemary

A reader sent me this wonderful site this morning. It is hilarious.

This adorable little pug will lick your screen squeeky clean from the inside. I know you will love this as much as I do!

Share with someone. It will definitely make their day.
