There Was an Old Woman
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread.
She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
I always loved to imagine what a shoe full of kids would look like. Here are some illustrations from old Mother Goose books for you to enjoy. Can you tell which one is not an illustration, but is a real shoe store I saw in Russia?
Mother Osprey Poem: An Old Woman who Lived in a Shell. What kind of shell would make the best house? Illustrator Connie McLennan cleverly chose the perfect one — a chambered nautilus!
Illustrations from: The Little Mother Goose; The Nursery Rhyme Book; My First Picture Book; Harry's Ladder to Learning; and The Only True Mother Goose (available through Project Gutenberg)
