Bueno! (Hello! in Mexican, Spanish) The Mexican Flag I haven't featured a nursery rhyme in a while, so I thought today we'd explore: HICKORY DICKORY DOCK! Now, I have noticed that different versions contain different tenses of the verb "to run". I think the above version is correct, grammar-wise. Wikipedia has a very good history of the rhyme. 'Hickety Dickety Dock' illustration by William Wallace Denslow from a 1901 Mother Goose collection. It looks like the rhyme originally was said as: 'Hickere, Dickere Dock' published in London in 1744. close-up of William Denslow's illustration The next version comes from 'Mother Goose's Melody' printed in 1765. It uses 'Dickery, Dickery Dock' Interesting to me: There are TWO musical versions. One is popular in Great Britain, and the other one is popular in North America! The one printed above is the version I am familiar with, so I guess it is the North American tune. A super scherensnitte pattern for a mouse, taken from a Chinese Zodiac series. scroll clock by mdereus27 possibly etsy? Now, the above scherensnitte type clock was originally for a Cinderella story. By changing the position of the hands, you could easily make this into a hickory dickory dock clock! (say that 6 times, really fast....) vintage illustration found at http://www.fun-roadtrip-games.info/ Here are a few more coloring pages for you - http://www.reading-with-kids.com/ unknown source and another terrific How-to-draw from Dover Publications: an adorable cupcake found at http://www.thecupcakeblog.com/ Why couldn't you also make that little mouse from clay? What about making a 'clock' pincushion (felt would be easiest), and make some hat pin toppers from shrinky dink plastic? vintage Rand McNally book, found at http://www.michiganzone.blogspot.com/ This next is a very clever way to serve some party treats with a theme: http://www.littlenummies.net/ That's a peanut butter sandwich, with a hole cut out for a banana slice. The mouse is made from a strawberry, with halved grape ears, and little raisin eyes and nose! I'm not sure what she used for the clock hands or the mouse whiskers or tail. But you could try orange peels, or chow mein noodles or bread crusts.... Here is a fun and simple vintage pattern for embroidery: found at http://www.sewcraftful.com/ Wouldn't it be fun for a nursery room to have several embroidered pillows, each with a different nursery rhyme on it? Sew deep ruffles for a girl's room, and knife point edges for a boy's. You could, of course, be really energetic and make a baby quilt with each block a different nursery rhyme. Check out my past blogs for more nursery rhyme patterns, and check out the links from where I have found them for many more! I'd like to finish up today with a vintage poster from 1917: illustrated by Mary Louise Spoor and found at http://www.smallequals.bigcartel.com/ I especially like the little mouse reading! Remember to smile at someone today that is a 'wall flower'. Don't forget to laugh with a child today, and eat ice cream!!! :0) inkspired http://www.inkspired.etsy.com/
We all know fairy tales can be a little violent and frightening, despite the fact they seem aimed at children: wolves eating people, children getting poisoned or abandoned by evil stepmothers. Howe…

"The Barbar the Elephant book is sitting in front of me. I pick it up and start reading it. I remember reading it as a small Boy and enjoying it and imagining that I was friends with Babar, his constant Companion during all of his adventures. He went to the moon, I went with him. He fought Tomb
The Tall Book of Make-Believe ( Make Believe ) Harper & Row publishers 1950 There are some childhood books that are warm and comfortably familiar. Something about them is tender and nostalgic and almost unexpectedly magical. This was my book when I was a little girl and I remember my mom reading it to me. Even the cover (which lost it’s spine years ago) is like a cozy old friend. It opens with a Walter de la Mere poem “Somewhere” and has verse from Katherine Masefield, Eugene Field, Stevenson, Lear, and Christina Rossetti. Tennyson's "The Mermaid" has a page with a terrific illustration. There are a few stories about a bad mouse, an ever growing lollipop, some naughty children , a little girl named Susan and some bears (that one being the best) and a fanciful yarn by Carl Sandburg. My mom doesn’t care much for poetry which is funny because that is what my earliest remembrances are of her reading to me. "Wynken Blynken and Nod" is one of my favorite childhood poems (one that led me to collecting the complete works of Eugene Field). Field’s poems are often in collections for kids but this is the picture that I’ve always associated with it since I was at least 4 years old. And this picture that I used to dream about (who wouldn't?!) ---
