One of my very, very favorite poems and always the illustrations are wonderful. My favorite fabrics and animals together in a childhood memory! My most favorite rendition of the poem and illustrations was in the World Book Childcraft book "Poems of Early Childhood" published in 1954. I cherished that entire book when I was little, and I know my little sisters loved it as well. Isn't it great we have such great memories of reading and books? Love T
