Old Mother Hubbard's Dog is up to no good!

Old Mother Hubbard's mischievous pup is feeling under the weather and makes up all kinds of ailments! He paints himself with colourful spots, bandages himself from nose to tail, and hiccoughs until the windows shake!

Long-suffering Old Mother Hubbard tries her best to make him feel better, but nothing seems to work! Whatever can she do?

This lively and humorous nonsense poem is brilliantly written by John Yeoman and illustrated exuberantly by Quentin Blake.
