Packed with wobbly-legged dogs, spotty ailments and flying beds, these scrapbook-style tales are built for reading aloud and returning to again and again. A brilliant introduction to comic verse for young readers aged five to seven, and a genuinely funny gift for any bookshelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis collection gathers the much-loved \"Old Mother Hubbard's Dog\" stories alongside Michael Rosen's nonsense poems and tales, all illustrated in Quentin Blake's instantly recognisable, expressive style. In \u003cem\u003eHard-Boiled Legs\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSmelly Jelly Smelly Fish\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eUnder The Bed\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSpollyolly-diddlytiddlyitis\u003c\/em\u003e, everyday moments — breakfast, bedtime, a trip to the doctor — spiral into glorious chaos, with beds that sprout wings and doctor's visits that end in invented illnesses. Meanwhile, the four \"Old Mother Hubbard's Dog\" titles follow her mischievous pup as he causes mayhem playing sport, learning new games, dressing up and falling \"ill\" — much to Old Mother Hubbard's exasperation. Told in rollicking rhyme perfect for reading aloud, each story rewards repeat visits, with new jokes to spot in Blake's busy illustrations every time. Together, the eight books offer variety within a consistent tone: warm, witty, slightly anarchic humour that never talks down to young readers. It's the kind of collection requested at bedtime long after the first read, and works equally well for solo early readers or a shared laugh with a parent. A wonderful way to introduce children to comic verse and character-driven silliness, from two of Britain's best-loved children's writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight complete paperback stories in one great-value collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout by legendary illustrator Quentin Blake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhyming, read-aloud text perfect for shared bedtime reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilly, memorable characters children want to revisit again and again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for building reading confidence in ages 5-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brilliant gift for birthdays, Christmas or World Book Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMichael Rosen is one of Britain's most celebrated children's authors and a former Children's Laureate, best known for \u003cem\u003eWe're Going on a Bear Hunt\u003c\/em\u003e.
